A defence lawyer for one of three Toronto police officers accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague suggested on Friday that the woman made up the sexual assault allegations because she feared her reputation would be ruined if word of her having sex with the men got out.

The woman — a female parking enforcement officer who cannot be named due to a publication ban — denied the lawyer’s allegations during cross-examination.

She has testified that the officers — Joshua Cabero, Leslie Nyznik, and Sameer Kara — had sex with her without her consent in a downtown hotel room between 12:20 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 17, 2015 after a night of partying and drinking.
