OPP Officer Charged With Historic Sexual Assaults

Postby Thomas » Wed Jun 03, 2015 3:38 am

(SAULT STE MARIE, ON) – The director of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Tony Loparco, has reasonable grounds to believe that a former Sault Ste Marie Police Service officer committed criminal offences, in relation to incidents involving multiple males, over a six year period in the 1980s. Director Loparco has caused charges to be laid against the officer.

On February 2, the SIU was contacted by the Sault Ste Marie Police Service after receiving sexual assault allegations against one of its former members. As the SIU investigation progressed, additional complainants were identified.

The probe determined that the alleged incidents against four males occurred between the years of 1981 and 1987.

As a result of the investigation, Constable David Scott, who is now an officer with the OPP’s Espanola Satellite Office, is facing two counts of Indecent Assault, four counts of Gross Indecency, and three counts of Sexual Assault.

Scott is required to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Sault Ste Marie on July 6. The Justice Prosecutions branch of the Ministry of the Attorney General will have carriage of the prosecution.

As this matter is now before the courts, and in consideration of the fair trial interests of the accused and the community, the SIU will make no further comment pertaining to this investigation.
