NSW Police officer taken into custody after sexually assaulting then-wife

An NSW Police officer has been taken into custody after being found guilty of 11 charges, including choking and sexually assaulting his then-wife. The offenses occurred over several years during their marriage, according to court findings. Following a conviction, prosecutors sought his detention due to concerns about his potential danger to the victim while on bail. The officer, whose identity is protected, was previously on bail but was ordered into custody by Judge Philip Hogan, who deemed the offense 'very serious' and dismissed claims of special circumstances. He remains suspended from his police duties and has indicated intent to appeal.
