The defence for a former police
officer charged with rape has opened its case. The former Far North officer is on
trial in Auckland, accused of rape, assault and sexual violation dating back
to 1988. Defence lawyer Gary Gotlieb says
he will call five witnesses to defend his client. They include police who
used to work with the accused, a man he claims the complainant came onto the
night of the incident and a man she had an affair with. The accused will not be taking the
stand. The defence expects to finish its evidence today.
