The officer said she was never told she was the subject of an investigation, or that it concluded she committed misconduct by using ‘service equipment’ to conduct what the investigator’s report said was a ‘romantic relationship with a colleague’
A CSIS officer’s allegations that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles set off a harassment inquiry, but also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a “misuse” of agency vehicles by the woman.prompted public pledges of reform last year from David Vigneault, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
The woman cannot be named because of a law banning identification of covert officers, but she is called “Jane Doe” in a previous lawsuit against the government.She and another surveillance officer in the CSIS British Columbia office said they were both sexually assaulted in service vehicles by the same senior officer while on missions between July 2019 to spring 2021.
Jane Doe is currently on long-term disability leave, due to being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Matt Malone, an assistant law professor at Thomson Rivers University who has handled hundreds of complaints as a workplace investigator, said Jane Doe’s treatment was “mind-boggling.” When the women’s claims initially came to light last November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called them “devastating,” and said his government was following up “very directly.”
“I don’t know if they have been investigating me basically since I submitted the complaint or if this was a reaction to the investigation,” she said. “Regardless, I didn’t know that they were doing it, even though it claims that I did.” The report says her alleged breaches of CSIS' conduct policy “surfaced in the context of a harassment investigation.”
“So, him and I were in a photograph, a group photograph, together. Did that prove I wanted to have sex with him at work?” she said.
