The Far North woman who alleges a
police officer raped her 18 years ago, claims police did not take a statement
from her despite laying a complaint within hours of the incident. A former police officer is
standing trial for rape, assault and sexual violation. The complainant says she reported
the attack the following day to a superior of the accused who came to visit
her. She says the officer assured her he was dealing with the complaint and
asked her not to tell anyone else about it. She says she believed the officer
until she saw the accused in uniform and in a marked police car.
