An on-duty police constable sexually assaulted a woman by “back-handing” her in her private parts and later claimed his actions were intended as a joke, a court has heard.
Daniel Gentles, who jurors were told is no longer a police officer, is alleged to have assaulted the woman “out of the blue” in 2023, and to then have used his mobile phone to show her a cartoon meme of a man hitting a woman in similar circumstances.
