BOSTON -- New evidence has surfaced as the case that has rocked the Boston Police department heads back to the courtroom Monday.The focus of the proceedings at Dorchester District Court will center on cell phone calls and text messages that the alleged victim made.A married pregnant Boston police officer has gone to court to ask for an extension of a restraining order against a fellow officer who she has claimed raped her several times while the pair were at a shooting competition in Connecticut this summer.Newscenter 5 has learned the female Boston officer did not report her alleged rape to Farmington, Conn., police or to Boston police.The female Boston officer said she was threatened and raped repeatedly, but still hasn't pursued criminal charges against her alleged attacker.“I think the most unusual part is the fact that there have been no criminal charges brought in either jurisdiction at this point in time, “ said criminal defense attorney Edward Ryan, who is not involved in the case.There have been no criminal charges filed, but the alleged victim is testifying in a hearing to extend a restraining order."He would shoot my husband in the head from 50 feet away and no one would know," she has told a judge about alleged threats made against her.Her name and the name of her alleged attacker have not been released because no criminal charges have been filed.The married female Boston cop said she was threatened into having sex with a member of the department's elite SWAT team, who allegedly raped her three times over two days in a Connecticut hotel room.NewsCenter 5 has learned the Boston police department paid for the room that the pair shared with a third male officer.The trip was an annual SWAT team shooting competition and was sponsored by the BPD. The department paid for the two male officers, both of whom are members of the SWAT team, but did not pay for the female officer, who went on her own.The female officer testified last Thursday that she was afraid of the officer, but NewsCenter 5 has also learned she initiated phone calls and sent text messages to her alleged attacker during the time she said she was being raped.“The content of those text messages is going to play a large role in this hearing,” Ryan said.The alleged victim also claims she was raped multiple times when she returned to Boston and is now pregnant with her alleged attacker's child.“The fact that she became pregnant might have put her in a state of mind, for example, that she didn't know what to do or what to say," Ryan said.
