Dunedin police say no substance to historical police rape allegation

The police in Dunedin say there's no substance to a historical rape allegation involving a Dunedin detective.
Investigate magazine has claimed the officer sexually assaulted a female court worker at a Christmas party in 1996.
But the area commander, Inspector Dave Campbell, says "key people" who were at the party, including the supposed victim, deny anything happened.
He says while the police were called and there were some concerns about the behaviour of an off duty officer at the party, there was never any suggestion of sexual activity and no complaints were laid.
