New Zealand Former Top Cop Charged over Child Porn, Bestiality Material

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, AUG 3 – Jevon McSkimming faces eight charges over four years involving child sexual exploitation and bestiality material, with a maximum sentence of 10 years, police said.

  • On Monday in Wellington District Court, former New Zealand Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming faced eight charges of possessing objectionable material, including child sexual exploitation and bestiality.
  • Six months before his resignation in May, McSkimming was suspended amid investigations by the Independent Police Conduct Authority following a complaint.
  • Official filings reveal the charge breakdown and penalties: eight counts, including four bestiality and three child sexual exploitation charges, each carrying a maximum 10 years’ imprisonment.
  • The court remanded him on bail without plea, and he will reappear before Judge Tim Black in November.
  • After the suppression order lapsed on Monday, Justice Karen Grau declined to extend the interim injunction, and lawyer Letizea Ord confirmed no further application.
