Michael Lockwood is charged with offences between 1979 and 1986.
The former head of the police complaints watchdog has gone on trial charged with sexual offences against two teenage girls more than 30 years ago.
The Old Bailey heard that both 14-year-old girls were allegedly attacked by Mr Lockwood while he worked as a lifeguard at a leisure centre in the Hull area of East Yorkshire. The court heard that Mr Lockwood had walked with one alleged victim after dark and leant across and kissed her. Mr Polnay said: "She trusted Mr Lockwood. She was worried if anyone found out what had happened she would be in trouble and would be banned from the leisure centre."Many years later the alleged victim sought counselling and decided to report the matter to the police, jurors heard.
From 2018 to 2022, Mr Lockwood was director general of the Independent Office for Police Conduct , which handles complaints against police in England and Wales.
