A woman accusing a former police
officer of raping her nearly 20 years ago has been grilled about an affair
she had with a married man. The ex-Far North constable is on
trial at the Auckland District Court facing eight charges, including four of
rape -- charges he denies. Under cross examination the 63
year old complainant was asked about an affair she had with a man prior to
the alleged rape in 1988. She admitted smoking marijuana
with the married man and having consensual sex with him. But she denied a defence assertion
that the rape allegation provided a good opportunity to get out of an
embarrassing situation with her boyfriend
