Female Mounties opt not to press charges in alleged sex assaults by fellow cop
HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s police watchdog says it won’t lay charges against an RCMP officer accused of groping two female Mounties, because neither woman wanted criminal charges laid.
Investigators say two Mounties were touched “in circumstances of a sexual nature, without their consent” after a team-building exercise at a bar on April 17.
The accused is a member of the Nova Scotia RCMP’s tactical team, taking part in a training exercise at CFB Aldershot, N.S., and was described as “very drunk.”
According to the Serious Incident Response Team report, the accused officer forced his hands up one member’s shirt and touched her breasts before he was pulled away by another member.
