The police officer under an employment investigation over concerns about his oversight of sexual assault and child abuse cases can be named as prominent Detective Inspector Kevan Verry.
Stuff revealed on Tuesday that police have re-opened more than 50 cases under the oversight of Verry after concerns were raised in May this year about his management of one historic case.
That initial case sparked a review which first identified 13 cases as requiring further investigation, followed by a wider review of almost 1,000 files. In total, 54 cases are being re-investigated.
Verry is now the subject of an employment investigation which remains ongoing. No findings have been made against him.
