A court has heard how a police sergeant charged with raping a woman whilst on duty appeared to be on drugs before the assault.
Sergeant Glenn Carabott, 40, is accused of having raped the woman while responding to a report of theft at her home in Qawra last month.
Testifying yesterday in the compilation of evidence, Superintendent Graziella Muscat Buhagiar informed Magistrate Gabriella Vella that the accused was now under investigation by the vice squad and the cybercrime unit. She gave the court a blow by blow account of what investigators had been told by the victim, who she said was a heavy drug user who struggled to communicate due to withdrawal symptoms.
