The chief reporter from The Times in Britain is standing by allegations the newspaper has made about former New Zealand High Court judge Dame Lowell Goddard.
Yesterday Dame Goddard released a statement strongly denying all the allegations of misconduct, including derogatory remarks the newspaper says she made when she was head of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in Britain.
