Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has laid charges of sexual assault and breach of trust by a public officer against an Ottawa Police sergeant.
The SIU says they were contacted November 22, 2017 about a complaint of a sexual nature. The alleged incident had reportedly happened between the officer and an Ottawa woman on October 25, 2017.
Following an investigation, the SIU says charges were laid against Sgt. Aasim Ansari.
Ansari will be in an Ottawa courtroom October 15.
The SIU is called in whenever police in Ontario are involved in an incident in which someone is seriously hurt or killed, or alleges sexual assault.
