2 Investigations Ordered Following Alleged Police Abuse Of Victoria Teen

"I think the public interest requires that we find out exactly what does happen and that can only be done through a police investigation," Ryneveld said Wednesday.

Victoria police's interim chief Bill Naughton announced Wednesday morning that his force was launching an internal investigation. He also reminded the public that there are two sides to every story.

"It is important to recognize the video currently being circulated by the young woman's lawyer is a snapshot of a much longer period of time in which she's in our custody," Naughton said.

"Events are more accurately assessed when some context for that snapshot is provided and we are confident that will be fully explored during the upcoming civil trial," he said.

Richard Neary, the lawyer for Kinloch, said he's ready to release more information in the case if police give him permission.

"There is no allegation that my client ever touched, threatened or attempted to touch anyone with the Victoria Police Department outside of what's seen on that tape," Neary said.
