An Auckland-based police officer is facing charges related to possessing objectionable material, including a “rape image” and other categories of child sexual exploitation material. The New Zealand Herald and RNZ report that the officer is in his 60s and is accused of holding multiple types of objectionable publications. The allegations include child sexual exploitation material and bestiality-related content, alongside the “rape image.”

According to The New Zealand Herald, the officer faces 11 objectionable publication charges. RNZ similarly describes the charges as involving possession of objectionable material, specifying the “rape image” and additional categories such as child sexual exploitation material and bestiality. The reports focus on the nature of the material and the number and type of charges, without detailing the investigation or the circumstances of how the materials were found.

The officer’s case is ongoing, and the reports do not indicate an outcome.
