The officer also tried for 'with intent'. But I can't remember what the magistrate said about that bit. On the one hand it's great that a gay policeman can be open and that his colleagues support him when he wants to go to court to defend his right not to have homophobic slurs thrown at him. On the other hand the officer was guilty of wrongful arrest, assault, sexual assault and perjury. (The homophobic slur was said after the sexual assault.)
