A magistrate has effectively terminated the prosecution of a police officer who was accused of indecently assaulting a colleague, saying the man "lost the right to silence" when he was compelled to answer questions.
South Australia Police officer Brett Andrew Foster was granted a permanent stay of criminal proceedings against him in the ACT Magistrates Court on Friday.
Mr Foster had been before the court on three charges of committing an act of indecency without consent, following an incident that allegedly occurred when various police officers were in Canberra to participate in a basketball tournament in late 2019.
