Two former policemen found not guilty today of historic kidnap and sex charges are already in jail for rape.
Brad Shipton, 48, and Bob Schollum, 54, were acquitted by a jury in the High Court at Auckland this afternoon on charges of kidnapping and indecently assaulting a 16-year-old girl in Rotorua between November 1983 and August 1984.
At the conclusion of the trial suppression orders from an earlier trial were lifted, allowing it to be revealed that Shipton and Schollum are already in jail for rape.
The pair, together with two other men, were convicted in July 2005 for the rape of a 20-year-old Mount Maunganui woman in 1989.
Schollum was sentenced to eight years' jail and Shipton to 8-1/2 years.
Suspended assistant police commissioner Clint Rickards, 46, was also found not guilty in the High Court today of kidnapping and indecently assaulting the Rotorua teenager.
While he now walks free, his former colleagues will return to prison.
