“The officer was not on duty at the time,” a police spokesperson said.
“It is not appropriate to make any further comment given the matter is now before the court.”
According to the Police Offences Act, a person who, with indecent intent, assaults any other person can be fined a maximum of $9,750 or sentenced to up to two years imprisonment.
