Claudine Binns, a 52-year-old former detective inspector from Bradford, West Yorkshire, is facing serious charges of assault by penetration and attempted assault following an encounter in 2022. During a trial at Bradford Crown Court, the alleged victim testified that after a consensual sexual encounter, Binns took out a sex toy and attempted to use it on her despite her objections. The complainant described the incident as terrifying, stating that she screamed for Binns to stop as she felt pain and fear of further penetration. She also mentioned feeling dizzy and emotional, leading her to suspect she may have been drugged with Rohypnol, a date rape drug, during their time together. Binns allegedly dismissed the victim's feelings, claiming she was 'too sensitive' and deflected conversations about the incident. The defense has suggested that the accusations are fabricated, but the complainant maintains her account of events. Binns was a serving officer at the time of her arrest in May 2022 and has since retired. The trial is ongoing.
