Police in court over prison ra

TWO Queensland police officers are set to face court today charged with raping female prisoners at a watchhouse.

The two long-serving Sunshine Coast-based officers will face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on 32 charges including sexual assault, rape and deprivation of liberty.

Police allege the officers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, gave cigarettes to three females in custody at the watchhouse and allowed them out of the cells in return for sexual favours.

The incidents allegedly happened between January and December last year.

The charges were laid in July as a result of an eight-month investigation by the Qld police Ethical Standards Command.

The officers have been suspended from duties pending the court's findings.
