A CANTERBURY University law
student being investigated for a
sexual assault has been allowed to
go overseas on a study-related trip.
Bu the university’s dean of
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to
discuss the matter.
“I can’t comment
about any
of this because
of confidentiality
and privacy,” she
told The Star
yesterday.
The Star has
learned a female
student has laid
a complaint abou the accused
being allowed to go on the trip.
It is understood it is no the
same person who has laid the
sexual assault complain to the
police.
The Star has been told it is a
rape investigation.
The Star sent a number of questions
to Canterbury University
yesterday but none would be answered.
Said Canterbury University
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:
“UC cannot respond to allegations
that are before the police.”
She referred the questions
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was
turned off.
Police would also not comment
on the matter.
The overseas trip involves
both male and female law students.
