Ex-policeman's trial continues

The woman who alleges a Far North policeman repeatedly raped her will continue giving evidence today.

The former officer, who has name suppression, is on trial in the Auckland District Court facing charges of rape, sexual violation and assault in 1988.

The complainant began her evidence yesterday claiming the man took her back to the police station where he worked, handcuffed her and then raped her. She says she made it clear she did not want to have intercourse with him and when she told him he had raped her, he replied 'no I didn't, you liked it.' She says at one point, she feared he would kill her.

The defence claims the sex was consensual.
