A police officer offered a woman £500 for ‘sex for a month’ after having a threesome with her and his male colleague in a patrol car, a court has been told.
PC Matthew Longmate, 47, was on duty with PC Daniel Nash, 41, in Chesterfield town centre on October 4, 2015 when they offered the woman a lift home following an incident at the Association Bar.
Prosecutor Polly Dyer said the woman recalls having intercourse with Nash while she performed a sex act on his Derbyshire Constabulary colleague Longmate.
Nash has admitted misconduct but has since died of cancer, jurors have heard. Longmate denies one charge of misconduct.
Southwark Crown Court heard of text messages between the complainant and Nash between 2016 and 2019, following the alleged incident.

Nash persistently requested to see her again, and in December 2019 he offered her cash – £250 up front and another £250 at the end of the month – if she agreed to sleep with him ‘all December’.
The woman replied: ‘I don’t know what to say to that. I don’t know what you think of me but I’m not an escort.’
She added that she was ‘flattered’ but felt she was ‘worth more than that’. When Nash then asked how much she was thinking, she didn’t reply.
Under cross-examination today, the woman said that when she left the Association Bar and saw the policemen, she borrowed a phone from one of them to call her friend who was still inside the club.
When her friend didn’t come out, she said the officers then offered her a lift home.
‘They said they were taking me home because I wouldn’t get into any other pubs,’ she told the court.
She reiterated that she had known the men were police officers because they were in uniform and had a police car.
Referencing the following morning, Charles Blachford, defending Longmate, asked her: ‘You felt sick about it – I presume the incident and the alcohol?’
She replied: ‘Just the incident,’ and told the court that Nash has not used a condom.
The jury heard Longmate was crewed with Nash on the 10pm-7am shift on the night of October 3-4, meaning that they would have been together in a police car.

DS Robert Nicholls, the officer on the case, told the court that it would be normal practice for two officers to be crewed together on a night shift.
Ms Dyer read out police logs that showed Nash and Longmate had attended a number of incidents together that night.
She noted there were ‘no records of either man being crewed with any other officer on the night’, which DS Nicholls confirmed.
She also said that based on police records, 19 male officers attended incidents in the Chesterfield area that night, but it was highly unlikely that anyone other than Longmate had been at the scene with Nash.
This was based on their presence at either another incident or the police station at the time, or their having a specialist role that would have made it impossible for them to have been involved.
This was due to the type of vehicle they would have been driving, or the fact they would not have been in uniform.
The trial continues.
