A 55-year-old police detective has been charged with the alleged rape of a teenager whose case he was investigating. The man was arrested last Friday and charged with having sexual intercourse without consent, sexual touching and misconduct in public office. The detective has been suspended from his police duties and released on conditional bail. Police in NSW said they were made aware a year ago that the woman made allegations against the officer who is based in Sydney's north-west. A police statement said that 'In May 2022, officers attached to the Professional Standards Command commenced an investigation into reports of an alleged sexual assault involving a 19-year-old woman.
'Following extensive inquiries, a 55-year-old detective senior constable — attached to a specialist command — was arrested and charged with sexual intercourse without consent, three counts of sexually touch another person without consent, and misconduct in public office.' They approached a girl while she was in school uniform at Sydney's Cabramatta train station in 2020.
In court, they said they had been threatened by prisoners and guards while in jail on remand after filming themselves having sex with the schoolgirl.
