Summary
Police are urgently reviewing how they handled over fifty child protection and sexual assault cases after a senior detective, Kevan Verry, came under scrutiny for allegedly mishandling investigations — some involving child sexual abuse and others adult sexual assault. A joint panel with Oranga Tamariki and an external advisory group have been formed to ensure accountability and protect victims, while Operation Hark investigates the full scope. Concerns are mounting over potential ongoing risks to victims, including possible reoffending, and the Children’s Commissioner has joined the push for transparency and systemic reform.
