17-year WRPS member charged with sexual assault, breach of trust

The province’s police watchdog has charged a 17-year veteran of the Waterloo Regional Police Service with sexual assault.

The Special Investigations Unit says it began investigating last November, after it was made aware of a complaint of a sexual nature against the officer.

It’s alleged a woman was sexually assaulted in Kitchener in October of 2017.
