Witness says rape complainant propositioned him A defence witness has told a jury
that he was propositioned by a rape complainant in a bar just hours before
the alleged crime. A former Far North constable aged
48 is on trial at the Auckland District Court for eight charges, including
four of rape, 1988. He denies the charges, made by a
woman who claims she was handcuffed and then raped several times in a police
station. In giving evidence for the
defence, Roger White said that on the night of the alleged rape, he was hit
on by the complainant. He says he found out the next day that the woman had
laid a rape complaint. Mr White told the court he joked
to his friend about who was raping who and commented that it could have been
him, as the woman had propositioned him that night.
