What ex-cop did was misconduct
Allegations of serious misconduct have been made against a former police officer from the rural municipality of Corman Park, Sask., but no charges have been laid.
The small rural police force patrols an area surrounding the city of Saskatoon.
The allegations, which include sexual assault, stalking and harassment, are detailed in a report issued by the Saskatchewan Public Complaints Commission.
While the report, which covers complaints received from April 1, 2006, to March 31, 2007, doesn't name the officer, CBC has learned his name is Ainsworth Myers.
The long-serving member of the force quit after the allegations came to light, avoiding any discipline under the Police Act.
However, the accusations against Myers were fully investigated by the public complaints commission. It said the allegations were supported by information provided by various witnesses and in some instances, verified by local police records.
"It certainly met our standard of proof. You know, there was no question that the police officer misconducted himself," said Bob Mitchell, the chair of the public complaints commission.
"If he had remained a police officer, I dare say the chief would have dealt with him very, very severely but, of course he resigned and ran away and escaped."
Despite the certainty of the commission, Myers isn't facing criminal charges.
The Department of Justice made the decision not to proceed with charges, but won't talk about the case.
Corman Park police chief Wayne McGillivray would not confirm the name of the former officer, but said he takes the case seriously.
"We are fully aware of the seriousness and understand the gravity of the allegations and wish to assure you that the Corman Park Police Service is accountable to the public," McGillivray said.
CBC hasn't been able to contact Myers for an interview.
