When a Queensland police detective woke to a colleague raping her after a Christmas party nearly 25 years ago, she screamed before jumping out of bed, a court has been told. But officer Anthony John Clowes pleaded not guilty to one count of rape at the start of a District Court trial in Brisbane on Monday. Clowes and the woman, both detectives at Gladstone, had been to a Christmas party the night of the alleged rape in 1999, prosecutor Sarah McFarland told the jury in her opening.
The woman would tell the jury of the impact the alleged incident had, McFarland said. “She will give evidence as to why she did not report this and then why she did ... in 2021.” Clowes’ barrister Saul Holt said a pretext call the woman made to Clowes, now a police inspector, in October 2021 was important evidence that resulted in a statement of innocence, instead of a confession.
