Senior Qld cop charged with rape
|
A senior Queensland police officer has been charged with raping a woman more than two decades ago.
The 52-year-old commissioned officer was off duty when he is alleged to have sexually assaulted a 27-year-old woman in 1999.
Detectives from the Child Abuse and Sexual Crime Group charged the officer on Tuesday.
The Brisbane-based officer has been suspended and is due to face the Brisbane Magistrates Court on January 19.
A commissioned officer carries the rank of Inspector or above, but police could not confirm his rank at the time of the alleged assault.
