A police officer accused of raping and assaulting a woman and a young child "abused his position" a prosecutor has told jury members.
Martyn Coulter, 36, is on trial at the High Court in Edinburgh accused of raping a woman and assaulting her three times between June 2013 and November 2014 at addresses in East Lothian and Edinburgh.
He is further charged with raping and sexually assaulting a girl under 13. Advocate depute Kath Harper told jury members in her closing speech in court on Monday that Coulter had abused his position as a police officer and presented himself as a respectable member of the community who was interested in helping his country.
She urged the nine men and six women of the jury to convict Coulter based on the rule of mutual corroboration. Coulter is currently suspended from his role as a constable with Police Scotland.
