Outburst in court after former Mountie pleads guilty to sex assaults
YORKTON, Sask. — Police had to restrain a man after he burst into a Saskatchewan courtroom and demanded closure from a former RCMP officer accused of assaulting him and two other males when they were boys.
The outburst happened Thursday in a Yorkton courtroom when Alan John Davidson pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual assault, while a third count was stayed.
The pleas ended a trial that had begun this week for Davidson, who was charged after three people reported to police in 2014 that they had been assaulted while they were living in or visiting Yorkton between 1987 and 1991.
Davidson, who is 62 and now faces a sentencing hearing, was stationed in Regina, Coronach, Lloydminster, North Battleford and Yorkton between 1981 to 1996.
