A former NSW police officer faces trial for rape and sexual assault after a 17-year-old girl came forward decades later — alleging he locked her in a cold, dark cell, handcuffed her in a patrol car, and later raped her behind a police station counter. The case, now in Sydney’s Downing Centre Court, began after she contacted police in 2016 and culminated in his arrest in 2023 — over 25 years after the alleged crimes. He pleads not guilty as the prosecution builds its case, with the complainant describing the trauma that led her to consider self-harm.
