Summary
In March 2025 SiRT became aware of an alleged sexual assault by an RCMP officer in January 2023. The female and the officer are known to each other. I have determined that there are reasonable and probable grounds to believe that an off-duty RCMP officer committed a criminal offence.
On June 30, 2025, Constable William McNutt was charged with sexual assault contrary to s. 271 of the Criminal Code.
Constable McNutt will appear before the Nova Scotia Provincial Court at 5 Mill Village Road, Shubenacadie, NS, on July 3, 2025, at 1:30 p.m
