A POLICE officer charged over indecently assaulting two junior female officers while on duty has pleaded not guilty in court.
Nasser Dib, the brother of former featherweight boxing world champion Billy Dib, is facing eight charges of aggravated indecent assault and assault with an act of indecency.
The Leading Senior Constable, from Greenacre, was charged by the Professional Standards Command last month and suspended with pay.
The Dibs are a well-respected and admired family in western Sydney’s Lebanese Muslim community.
One of Nasser’s other brothers, Jihad, is the well-known principal of Punchbowl Boys High School while his father Ali was the former secretary of the Lebanese Muslim Association.
Dib sat silently inside Downing Centre Local Court at his first appearance today and no family members were in court to support him.
The 29-year-old is accused of assaulting the officers, a constable and probationary constable, in December, 2011, and April, 2013.
The first four assaults allegedly occurred in December, 2011.
Dib is accused of grabbing the female officer’s wrist and “pushing her hand down on his exposed penis twice” under Tom Ugly’s Bridge in Blakehurst.
During the same time period he also allegedly “placed his right hand underneath her vest and he felt her breast” while the pair were driving past Oatley Park in Oatley.
The second four assaults allegedly occurred in April, 2013, against a probationary constable at Oatley.
Dib is accused of attempting to kiss her twice and grabbing her on the buttocks.
He is also accused of placing his hand under her “load-bearing vest” and “grabbing and squeezing her breast” as they drove from Oatley Park to Hurstville Police Station.
The charges are all aggravated indecent assaults because the alleged victims were “under his authority” as the senior officer.
