OSHAWA, Ont. - An OPP officer has been acquitted of sex-related charges arising from complaints by two women.
A trial for Const. James Orser ended Wednesday in Oshawa and Justice Ted Minden delivered his verdict on Friday.
Orser was charged with two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference by the province's police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit, in June, 2012.
Two women made allegations of sexual assaults at Orser's home in Campbellford, Ont., in July of 2010, when one of them was 14 and the other was 18.
The OPP professional standards bureau has been conducting a Police Service Act investigation, and an update on the status of that is expected on May 13.
