Defence says sex was consensual

The defence counsel for a former police officer accused of rape says the woman making the accusations asked to be handcuffed and referred to the accused as a "naughty little boy".

The former Far North officer is accused of handcuffing the woman, forcing her into the police station and raping her in 1988.

Defence lawyer Gary Gotlieb says the complainant kissed his client in the car park and on the way back to the police station they performed sexual acts on each other.

He says the woman went into the police station voluntarily and after they had consensual sex, asked to be handcuffed and called the accused 'a naughty little policeman' before performing oral sex on him.

The woman denied the claims and says she was forced into the police station and repeatedly told him no.
