Former detective named in sex scandal

Former detective named in sex scandal - New Zealand, world, sport, business & entertainment news on Stuff.co.nz

Police image is getting a serious drubbing in the press over the public release of yet more evidence of use of batons and handcuffs as sex toys in group sex sessions. We do not believe the practise to be widespread but the paper reports fearlessly that it was happening as recent as 2002 (as though offences in the 1980s should be forgotten, as everyone wants to forget the 1980s, its hairdos, weird suburban sex parties, et al).

It is outrageous enough that this practice existed at all, but for them to make videos of it has added a Abu Griab dimension to the sordid affair. "It has always been private business. There's no criminality. There's no story in it." "It's nothing that doesn't happen in 500 houses, and probably your one." protested the officer in an attempt to deflect the attention." said the former detective sergeant who appeared in the video. The idea that in 500 houses, police are conducting group sex sessions with their batons is a much more serious contention by this officer, but let's disagree. The idea that police may using weapons issued for law enforcement as a fetish may not be that suprising, but for them to make video of it can only bring the force into disrepute. Publicising the video is the action of a woman who may have felt powerless for years in the circumstances that probably broke her marriage, and perhaps now, she is able to fight back? It is worth a proper investigation.
