NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) -- A former Norwich police officer has testified in his trial on charges of risk of injury to a minor that his sexual relationship with a teen began shortly after she turned the legal age of 16.
Kenneth Nieves said in New London Superior Court on Tuesday that he and the girl first had sex less than a week after her 16th birthday in February 2005. Nieves, who was married at the time, said he continued the affair through January 2008.
The age of consent in Connecticut is 16.
The girl testified Monday that their sexual relationship began when she was 14 or 15.
The 45-year-old Nieves said he knew when the girl turned 16 because his son joked about her getting her learner's permit for driving. He said he knew the relationship was wrong.
