Police communications regarding continued prosecution of Jevon McSkimming victim after acknowledgement allegations were true

Roger Brown made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Roger Brown to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Roger Brown

Dear New Zealand Police,

The following IPCA report notes that Crown prosecutors continued to prosecute one of Jevon McSkimming's victims for 'causing harm by posting digital communication' under section 22 of the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015, from November 2024, through to as late as September 2025, despite the Crown having acknowledged by 28th November 2024 that the (actual) victim's allegations in the 'harmful' communications case for which she was being prosecuted were not false.

I am requesting all Police communications with Crown prosecutors regarding this prosecution from 1st November 2024- when internal damage control regarding McSkimming's abnormal lusts began- through to 30th September 2025 (the end of the month in which the case was finally dropped solely because McSkimming refused to testify).

Yours faithfully,
Roger Brown

Kia ora

I refer to your request below. I have been asked to advise you that Police requires an extension of time in which to respond to your request, pursuant to section 15A(1) of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). Specifically, section 15A(1)(a), the request is for a large quantity of official information or necessitates a search through a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with the operations of the organisation.

Police requires until 13 February 2026 to provide a substantive response to your request, however we are endeavouring to provide this to you as soon as possible.

You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to make a complaint to an Ombudsman about this extension. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Ngā mihi,

Siena (she/her)
