A woman social worker is facing a string of sexual offence charges, including allegedly grooming a teenage boy. Auckland’s Waitemata Police have charged the 34-year-old Oranga Tamariki staff member in relation to alleged sexual offending against a 15-year-old. The charges include meeting a young person under 16 following sexual grooming, having sexual conduct with a person under 16 and exposing a young person to indecent material. “We cannot rule out the possibility of further charges being laid,” Detective Senior Sergeant Megan Goldie said. Goldie said police could not provide further details as the matter was before the court. The woman was suspended when Oranga Tamariki, the Ministry for Children, was told about the allegations, its deputy chief executive of services for children and families, Alison McDonald, said. “We are appalled at the allegations, which are shocking and deeply upsetting. “We are working with the young person and their family to do all we can to make sure they get the support they need.” McDonald said the organisation would continue to work with police as they investigated the allegations.

A member of staff at Sydney’s Nepean Hospital says she feared for her life after police shot a knife-wielding man then told patients there could be a bomb. Police officers shot a 54-year-old man at Nepean Hospital on Thursday afternoon after he walked into the emergency department and allegedly threatened a security guard. Tanya Sartori said it was “chaos” when patients were asked to leave the building and were then told by police “there could be a bomb”. “There was a patient next to me on crutches and she was like ‘I can’t walk, where are we meant to go,’ and I said, ‘I have no idea what happened’.” Ms Santori said the police officer told her someone had been shot with a Taser. “Then he came back after going inside and telling everyone to get out and he said we’ve shot someone and there’s a bomb, you’ve got to go,” she said. Ms Santori said there was a commotion as police told people to get away. “I didn’t fear for my life until (the officer) said there’s a bomb or there could be a bomb — that was the main thing. “I was just thinking, ‘is it going to go off, where is it?'” Nepean Hospital reopened early on Friday morning after being in lock down.
