Former Police Commissioner Andrew Coster has called the criminal case against ex-Deputy Commissioner Jevon McSkimming “a really disturbing situation”.
Coster, who held the top job while McSkimming was in the role beneath him, appeared on Herald NOW this morning for an interview in his new capacity as secretary for social investment.
Host Ryan Bridge asked Coster how he felt finding out McSkimming was accused of possessing objectionable material on his work devices.
“Look, obviously it’s a really disturbing situation but as you would know, I can’t talk about it while it’s in front of the courts, and it would be unfair of me to do that, so we need to let those processes take their course,” Coster replied.
Bridge pressed Coster several times, asking if he ever suspected any wrongdoing, noting that at least some of the alleged offending covered some of the time Coster was working closely with McSkimming.
