in two weeks if he is guilty of sexual harassment.

The unidentified Policeman could be forced to pay thousands of dollars in damages if the civil ruling goes against him in Bermuda's first ever Board of Inquiry sex case.

Tribunal Chairman Tim Marshall, running the Human Rights Commission hearing, will deliver his judgment on March 12.

And he has the power to award thousands of dollars worth of non-punitive damages to the alleged victim, if he finds she was subjected to sexual harassment.

The Policewoman, 26, claims her attacker forced a kiss on her in his office at Somerset Police Station, pushing his tongue into her mouth.

She also said he held his own private parts, telling her he wanted her, in a 15-minute ordeal on September 11, 1996. The former constable added that she shouted: "What the f*** are you doing?'' P.c. B, the defendant, said the woman officer came into his office, hugged him and walked out when he pulled away from her, all in less than a minute.

He claimed she was angry he had not given her a key to use showers in the men's barracks at the station.

Police doctor Adebola Bada read out details from the alleged victim's medical file during Friday's hearing at St. Theresa's Cathedral Hall.

He told the tribunal that P.c. A felt let down by the Police, suffered a lack of sleep, loss of appetite and depression.

And Dr. Bada said the record showed she told Dr. Henry Pearse that she had been sexually assaulted by two Police officers.

P.c. A denied making the claims, saying she was only attacked by P.c. B, a West Indian transferred to another post when the investigation began.

But P.c. B's lawyer, Richard Hector, read out a statement from station secretary Diane Turner who said the alleged victim once hugged the accused man, asking him: "Hi darling, how are your balls?'' Summing up, Mr. Hector said his client had now been through four separate inquiries -- two collapsed criminal cases, an internal Police investigation and the Human Rights Commission tribunal.

He said P.c. A had "called herself a liar'' by giving conflicting evidence, adding there was no independent proof to corroborate her version of events.

Mr. Hector also claimed the Policewoman's "surrogate father'', Chief Insp.

Larry Smith, had an office next to the defendant but heard nothing at the time of the incident.

He said: "This is an exercise of the human rights gone mad in the circumstances of this case.

"P.c. B was behaving, according to her, like somebody who had gone to cuckoo land.

"This witness has played fast and loose with our intelligence in this inquiry and she must not be allowed to get away with it.

"Here she was being rejected. ..and she's thinking: `Who is this West Indian to reject me'? "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.'' Clare Hatcher, representing P.c. A, said her client had composed herself and her emotions throughout the tribunal, except on two occasions when she broke down.

And she said the accused Policeman came across as "rude and arrogant'' during cross-examination, not waiting for questions to end before answering.

Mrs. Hatcher also claimed P.c. B "appeared uncertain what to say'' on occasions.

She added: "The respondent alleges a false complaint, describing a surreal, brief encounter with no words spoken.

"As for the effect on the complainant, we say that she was affected during the incident by a forced kiss and a real fear of what he might do to her in the office, which was escalated once the door was closed.'' She said P.c. A, who had been sexually assaulted as a child, was not "a woman scorned''.

And Mrs. Hatcher claimed her client was owed damages for injury to feelings, mental stress and psychiatric reaction and feeling forced to quit her job with the Police.
