KAMLOOPS (NEWS1130) – Mounties are investigating their own officers over claims several of them watched two prisoners have sex in a Kamloops jail cell.
Two women were picked up separately by police on August 18, and were put in the same cell where they’re said to have had sex.
Four Mounties and three civilian staffers, all men, allegedly watched on video for seven minutes without intervening. The Kamloops Major Crimes Section is leading a criminal investigation involving the seven, as well as looking into the sexual contact between the women. The City of Kamloops is also running its own investigation.
Three constables are still on duty but the acting watch commander, a corporal with 20 years on the job, has been assigned to desk duty.
