On-duty cop, 32, ‘sexually assaulted’ woman in his police van while parked in CEMETERY
AN on-duty cop tried to have sex with a woman in his police van while parked in a cemetery, a court has heard
PC Christopher Hudson, 32, is accused of sexually assaulting the woman in a car park on Wetherby Road, Harrogate, on February 8, 2021 by touching her inner thigh.
Mr Hudson propositioned the woman twice within a week, with her refusals going “in one ear and out the other”, reports The BBC.
A jury heard he would drive her to the cemetery before attempting to “set the mood” by playing RnB music on his phone.
She made repeated refusals – and she told officers “there was nothing he could do to persuade me”.
He allegedly told his victim it was a “once in a lifetime” opportunity to have sex in a police van.
The sexual assault charge is connected to Mr Hudson allegedly touching her “inner thigh”.
Mr Hudson, of Hollin Terrace, Huddersfield, denies one count of sexual assault.
The trial continues.
