A teenage alleged rape victim’s potential contradictory claims during multiple police interviews could have been the result of an officer’s “mistake” when taking notes, a court has heard.
Queensland Police officer Justin Kersey gave evidence on Wednesday before the Brisbane Supreme Court trial of a married couple accused of raping a 15-year-old girl after a party at their Gold Coast home in December 2021.
Crown prosecutor Melissa Wilson asked Kersey about his handwritten notes taken during the second interview with the girl about two weeks after the alleged incident, which contained a claim that Lee Hili directly committed one of the assaults. “The complainant by an unknown female ... I would suggest to you that was what you were told,” Lynch said.“That’s possibly what I was told at the time,” he said.
