WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT First class officer Scott Barry Hawken would strike up collegiate conversations with a female guard at the Silverwater maximum security remand centre. They’d talk about health and exercise – one of his favourite topics – and ways to treat their eczema. He was her superior, and married. She had no idea that 10 years earlier, he was on trial for allegedly raping a woman. “If I’d known,” the woman, given the pseudonym OP, tells the Herald, “I would have stayed clear.” One night in 2022, the former bodybuilder and tighthead rugby prop went to the woman’s house when she was sick, offering to help her into bed and give her some Panadeine Forte. She wasn’t keen on him being there, but was too unwell to argue, the court heard. She woke with him on top of her. “I had 10 to 12 showers in the morning,” she told the court. “I kept scrubbing myself, washing myself.”
