Police officer charged with harassment of colleague at South and Southern Jutland Police
According to B.T., Esbjerg Court is hearing a case of indecent assault in which a male police officer is charged with having subjected a female colleague in her twenties to repeated offensive behaviour and remarks.
Among the alleged statements is the comment: "I am crazy about you, I cannot stop thinking about you."
The first incident is stated to have taken place at the workplace of South and Southern Jutland Police, where the accused, according to the complainant's account, stared at her breasts and made comments about her nipples.
During a joint car journey, the accused is also alleged to have asked whether he should pull over so that the colleague could perform oral sex on him. During the same journey, he is charged with having touched the woman's thigh several times.
Several witnesses have testified in court that a sarcastic jargon existed in the workplace, which was particularly expressed in conversations between the accused and the complainant.
The final verdict in the case is expected to be delivered on Monday, 16 November.
