A NSW police officer is convicted of offences against his then-wife after a trial in Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court. Multiple outlets report the officer faced 19 charges connected to domestic violence and was found guilty of sexually assaulting and choking his ex-wife.
ABC Australia reports that shortly after the conviction, a judge revokes the officer’s bail and the officer is taken into custody. The other reports focus on the conviction and the fact that the matter was heard as part of a larger domestic violence-related trial involving multiple charges.
Across the sources, the key points are that the case concerns sexual assault and choking of the officer’s then-wife, that the matter proceeds through a domestic violence-related criminal trial with multiple charges, and that the officer’s bail is revoked following the guilty verdict. The reports do not include additional detail about sentencing outcomes in the information provided.
