Jared Savage: NZ Herald investigative reporter on Jevon McSkimming's suppression order dropping - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming might have struggled to hold on to his suppression order.

He faces eight charges of possessing objectionable material containing child exploitation and bestiality. 

A gag order lapsed today. 

NZ Herald investigative reporter Jared Savage revealed major media companies had joined to oppose the order continuing.

"Given the significant public interest in this, I think it would have been very hard for a judge to maintain the status quo."
