Rape victim gives evidence

"If you can't trust a policeman, who can you trust?"

Those were the last words a Far North woman told the court she said before reluctantly agreeing to drive a drunk policeman home.

The former officer is accused of raping the woman in 1988. On the stand, the woman said the man asked her to stop at the police station and tricked her out of her car by saying her headlights were not working properly.

Once out of the car, she says he handcuffed her and forced her into the police station where he raped her four times, sexually violated her and assaulted her. The woman says she made it perfectly clear she did not want to have sex with him and that she wanted to go home.

She says she was scared and wanted it to end.
