But Galliott said police were focused solely on the investigation. “We’re dealing with sexual offences and that’s all we’re focused on,” he said.
Galliott denied the former detainee’s mistaken arrest was “a blunder.”
“Based on the information the investigators had at the time,they made the proper arrest,they made the right decision,” he said.
Asked during the press conference whether he expected the man to be compensated over the wrongful arrest,he said:“I think it’s pretty early to talk about that.
“All we’re focusing on at this stage is releasing him from custody,and we’ll then have further conversations with him.”
