‘HE TOOK IT OUT AND STOOD THERE SMILING…’

Family cop exposed himself to three women – court told

- By JON LIVESEY

A POLICE officer accused of exposing himself to a busty woman burglary victim told fellow officers, “You couldn’t miss her boobs”, a court heard.

Detective Constable Jeffrey Davies, 42, is accused of sexually assaulting and exposing himself to women while acting as their family liaison officer.

One woman claims Davies grabbed her hand and put in on his erect penis, while another says he stroked her leg in a “sexual way”.

A third woman alleges that while investigat­ing a burglary Davies took his penis out “and stood there smiling”.

The same woman alleges he made sexual comments about her breasts while taking a statement.

Swansea Crown Court heard extracts of Davies’ interviews with investigat­ing officers who grilled him about the comments.

Asked how he would describe the woman’s breasts Davies said: “You can’t miss them.

“She’s got large breasts not in keeping with the rest of her body.”

The officers told Davies that after she took him into her bedroom to point out areas of damage said to have been caused during the break-in, she alleged he suddenly exposed himself to her “and stood there smiling”.

But Davies, of South Wales Police, denied making any comments to the complainan­t or exposing himself to her, saying: “It wouldn’t make any sense to do it, it simply has not happened.”

Davies told the officers the woman “made up” allegation­s about him because he did not believe she had been burgled.

He said her claims were “one hundred per cent” made up and added: “I was absolutely amazed.

“I wouldn’t give her a crime number because I didn’t believe she’d told us the truth and I didn’t believe she had been burgled.

“I could not establish a burglary had happened there. Something had happened, not a burglary.”

Davies, of Merthyr Tydfil, denies two charges of sexual assault and one of exposure. The trial continues.
