Rickards says sex was consensual

Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards says Louise Nicholas used to play up to him.

The High Court trial into Mrs Nicholas' rape allegations has been read a statement by Rickards.

In 1995 Rickards told detective superintendent Ira Lines he had had consensual sex with Louise Nicholas on two occasions.

He says he knew it was consensual because of her demeanour, that she would sit on his knee and try to kiss him.

Mrs Nicholas claims Rickards and a former police officer repeatedly visited her flat to pressure her into sex.
