A POLICE officer accused of raping another man is expected to stand trial today.

Huddersfield Pc Mark Carter, also a former Mr Gay UK, has denied two counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

He is set to appear before a jury at Leeds Crown Court today.

In a previous hearing, the court was told the charges involved four different alleged victims and are said to have taken place between December 18 and 19 last year.

The officer, who was suspended by West Yorkshire Police after the allegations were made, is also charged with possessing the class C body building drug Stanazol, also on December 19.

Pc Carter was crowned Mr Gay UK in 2006 at the Flamingo Club in Blackpool.
