NZ Cop’s Devices Allegedly Held Child Exploitation, Bestiality Material
Former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming is alleged to have had child exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices, which has been revealed after a court dismissed an application to prevent media reporting on the nature of the objectionable material. McSkimming resigned from his position in May amidst separate investigations into alleged misconduct. A “rapid review” of police’s information security controls was ordered after the investigation into McSkimming, identifying several key issues, including weaknesses in technology configuration, lack of visibility over user activity, and gaps in governance. No notice of appeal was filed after the court’s decision, leading to the release of this information.
