Police officer assaulted by failed SA Senate candidate Raina Cruise was pregnant at the time, court told
ABCA female police officer was pregnant when she was assaulted by anti-vaccine protester and failed South Australian Senate candidate Raina Cruise in Adelaide's CBD, a court has heard. On Monday, prosecutor Greg Dudzinski said Cruise also injured two Exeter Hotel security guards by striking one to the ear and "grabbing" at the windpipe of the other "with both hands several times in a fashion that led him to believe she was trying to do serious damage". Mr Graham said Cruise had an "emotional" reaction to Constable Beck's victim impact statement letter and "in particular the revelation that was pregnant". Mr Graham said his client "wasn't running around pulling people's masks off" but had removed the mask of one man before saying "you're too handsome to be wearing a mask".
