EDMONTON – An Alberta RCMP officer is facing sexual assault charges following an investigation by the province’s police watchdog.
Susan Hughson, with Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, says they began an investigation last July.
She says the initial investigation found one of the alleged sexual assaults occurred in the Red Deer detachment in 2016.
The investigation uncovered other allegations including another sexual assault which allegedly took place in 2012.
Hughson wouldn’t say if the complainants worked for the RCMP or if they were people being held in custody.
Const. Jason Tress is facing two counts of sexual assault involving two women and two counts of breach of trust including one involving a third woman.
