The Crown alleges King used his Samsung Galaxy S3 to record intimate videos of the teen on July 24, last year, while Crown prosecutor Steve Manning has said one of videos was filmed when King's ambulance stopped on the side of the road near Waipawa between 3.10pm and 3.20pm. It was during this 10-minute window, as King transported the injured teen following a domestic dispute, that Mr Don said he uncovered a "footprint" of a video which was created at 3:15:29pm on King's phone. On Tuesday Hawke's Bay District Health Board security manager Robert Thorpe said CCTV footage shows King's ambulance later arriving with the teenage patient at the Waipukurau Medical Centre at 3.26pm.
During his investigations, Mr Don said he discovered a second video was created on King's Samsung at 3:27:11pm. Four minutes and 40s later the teenage complainant fled from the rear of the ambulance and into the arms of a delivery driver as he walked out the front doors of the medical centre.
Mr Don said data showed the second video was deleted at 3:31:13pm while the first video was deleted five seconds later at 3:31:18pm.
He said the time references on the cell phone were also "found to be the accurate time" while the lack of any further information in the digital footprints was consistent with a video being deleted.
Under cross-examination from King's lawyer, Bill Calver, Mr Don said he was unable to determine the length of the videos, what, if any, image was captured and said it was possible for a phone to accidentally begin recording while still in the user's pocket. Earlier on the third day of the trial St John paramedic Jack Bloodworth, who was working in a separate ambulance in Central Hawke's Bay on July 24, told the court how King described his "job" involving the teen after returning to the ambulance station. Mr Bloodworth said after King returned to the Waipukurau ambulance station from the medical centre "he expressed to me that the job had been unusual or difficult".
He said King then explained how the girl "bolted" from the back of the ambulance and into the medical centre and how a distressed looking King mentioned how the teen accused him of "touching her".
Mr Bloodworth said the fact King stopped to check the teen's vital signs after only 10m into the journey to the medical centre was "bizarre" and "unusual".
"If you are that concerned about the patient then you would take the vital signs before you leave, then that would eliminate the need to stop."
The remaining complainants are expected to give evidence during the trial, which Judge Geoff Rea indicated would run until next week.
