'She seemed to be enjoying it': Cop accused of raping 13-year-old in car's backseat claims encounter was consensual
30-year-old Ian Naude has pleaded guilty to 32 offenses but denies committing the child rape or sexual assault because it was 'consensual'
According to the Daily Mail, Naude had picked up the girl from her house while her mother was out after he had initially been called to the scene for a domestic incident. After he had her in his vehicle, he then reportedly drove the teen to a quiet country lane and forced himself on her in the back seat of his car, even taking videos of the assault.
The court heard that the 30-year-old — originally from South Africa and who served in Afghanistan as a machine gunner with the Royal Irish Regiment — joined the police in April 2017 after getting discharged from the Army "to gain the keys to a sweetshop". Naude denied the allegations, stating he signed up with the force as "he wanted to help people" and "make a difference".
