A suspended Wanganui police officer is denying a charge of sexual corruption.
Constable Hayden Clifford Bradley, 31, pleaded not guilty to one count of corruption and bribery of a law enforcement officer as his trial began in the High Court at New Plymouth this morning before Justice Ronald Young.
A jury of seven women and five men will decide whether Bradley is innocent or guilty.
Crown solicitor Cherie Clarke said Bradley stopped the complainant on February 5, 2012, to check her vehicle after she drove past his mufti patrol car in Wanganui.
"Oh, it's you,'' Bradley is accused of saying as he approached the complainant, who knew him only as Hayden, someone who had played rugby with her brother.
