Watchdog probing allegations Prince George cops abused underage Indigenous sex workers
Alberta’s police watchdog is investigating the Prince George RCMP after a review found the detachment failed to properly look into sexual abuse allegations against some of its own officers.
The detachment delayed several months before interviewing the complaining officer and a second officer who was the key witness. The second officer said she had found evidence that may implicate her ex-husband, also a Prince George Mountie. As reported by the Vancouver Sun, this evidence was in the form of video tapes.
The complainant officer retired soon after, but wrote a letter to his old employer several years later expressing concern that his criminal complaint had never been properly investigated. The RCMP conducted a review in response, but later told the retired officer no charges were warranted. “The FNLC and BCFNJC are extremely troubled by the details of these allegations, which point to the deeply rooted corruption, impunity, and lawlessness of the RCMP as a police institution. It is fundamentally unfit, and unable to be accountable.”
