The trial of a woman police officer who is accused of covering up for her boyfriend has been adjourned until Monday.
Pc Sarah Cohen is on trial at Exeter Crown Court where she faces two charges of perverting the course of justice.
She is accused of trying to prevent her former partner James Reading being prosecuted for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in North Devon in 2011.
Reading was jailed for sexual assaulting a young girl.
The prosecution allege Cohen intervened to try to stop him being arrested after he made an apparent suicide bid at Meldon Reservoir on Dartmoor.
The also allege she spoke to the parents of the girl after learning of the allegations and sought to persuade them not to make a formal complaint.
Cohen denies both charges. She says she acted properly during the incident at Meldon and could not have tried to influence the parents because they had already reported the matter to another officer before she spoke to them.
Judge Francis Gilbert, QC, adjourned the trial, which will not continue on Monday.
Cohen, aged 36, from Lifton, who was based at Launceston at the time, denies two offences of perverting the course of justice.
