An Ontario Provincial Police officer faces charges in connection with alleged sexual assaults dating back to the 1980s.
In February, the province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) was contacted by the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service after an allegation was made against the officer who was formally employed at that force.
The alleged incidents occurred against four males between the years of 1981 and 1987, the SIU said.
Const. David Scott, who works out of the OPP’s Espanola Satellite Office in Sudbury, faces several charges, including three counts of sexual assault and two counts of indecent assault.
He is scheduled to appear in court in Sault Ste. Marie on July 6.
The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
