More charges possible in alleged essay scam

A police search on the office of assignment4u netted a significant number of files

Criminal charges could be laid against a company alleged to have supplied essays to university students, the lawyer for the New Zealand Qualifications Authority says.
At the High Court in Auckland today NZQA lawyer Anna Longdill said police executed a search warrant on the company's Cook St premises on Friday. She said the search netted several computers and "literally a room full of files".
The assignment4u.com site was still running on Friday but was taken down yesterday, she said.
Ms Longdill said it was likely criminal charges could also be laid along with the civil charges. Criminal charges could have a bearing on how the civil case proceeds, she said
Lawyers for the company asked for an adjournment until September to go through the significant amount of material seized by police.
NZQA had earlier been seeking an interim injunction against the company to shut down the site.
