Cop on grope charge

A LOGAN police officer will appear in court over allegations he groped a female colleague on the breast in the middle of a busy police station.

The 44-year-old constable was yesterday slapped with a notice to appear in court next month charged with indecent assault over the allegations, which stem from a confrontation on April 21 at a station in Logan District.

The female officer involved has since undergone counselling. Her co-workers immediately notified superiors. The officer appearing in court has been suspended and faces a police internal investigation.
