Former Pike County Deputy's Trial Continues
KENTUCKY....
Testimony continued Tuesday in the trial for former Pike County Sheriff's Deputy Bill Hatfield who is accused of raping a woman while on duty in April of last year. Prosecutors played a taped interview state police conducted with Hatfield in which Hatfield admits he had sexual contact with the woman, but denies it was rape. Hatfield told State Police Detective Ben Cramer he was investigating two cars parked in an area where there is drug activity found the woman, who is married to one of his relatives, and a man in one car fooling around. Hatfield claims after the man drove away, the woman initiated contact with him and willingly had sex with him in exchange for him not to tell her husband she was with another man. The defense is expected to call witnesses Wednesday.
