CBC
The Windsor Police Service has charged a correctional officer with the alleged sexual assault of an inmate at a local detention centre.
Authorities say they were alerted earlier this month about alleged offences between May and November of this year while the officer was assigned to supervise female inmates.
The correctional officer is a 47-year-old man.
He’s been charged with sexual assault and breach of public trust.
“To protect the identity of the victim and preserve the integrity of the ongoing investigation, no further information will be released at this time,” police said in a statement.
Investigators with Windsor police believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Anyone who believes they may have been sexually assaulted or victimized is urged to contact them.
“Sexual assault is defined as any non-consensual touching of a sexual nature that violates the sexual integrity of an individual. This can include a wide range of behaviours, from unwanted sexual contact to assault involving penetration,” police said.
