A former Lethbridge prosecutor, Darwyn C.B. Ross, is facing serious allegations from the Law Society of Alberta. He is accused of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a woman who was the complainant in a criminal case while he was acting as a Crown prosecutor. The Law Society issued two citations against Ross. The first alleges that he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a complainant in a criminal matter, conduct deemed worthy of sanction.
The second citation claims that Ross failed to act honourably and with integrity, bringing the administration of justice into disrepute. The Law Society declined to provide further details about the allegations or a timeline for when the alleged offences occurred, citing the private and confidential nature of the process until a public hearing. Ross's employment with the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service ended in August 2022. Ross is currently listed as 'suspended' by the Law Society. He had been practising law in Alberta for 20 years prior to leaving the Crown's office. CBC News contacted the Lethbridge Police Service to inquire whether Ross was under investigation for sexual assault or breach of trust. The police service confirmed that it is not investigating Ross
