Arrest on rape charge
An 18-y ear-old Christchurch youth will appear in the Magistrate’s Court today on a charge of rape in connection with the assault on a night nurse near Christchurch Hospital on September 24.
The youth was arrested yesterday afternoon after an intensive inquiry into the incident, in which a 19-year-oid nurse was attacked and allegedly raped after finishing work on a night shift at the hospital. It was the second time this year that a nurse had been attacked near the hospital.
