An officer from outside the Prince George RCMP detachment should be assigned to investigate a local aboriginal woman's allegations of sexual assault against several detachment officers, says the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.
"These allegations are among the most serious a person can make," BCCLA president Robert Holmes said in a press release issued Wednesday.
"To suggest that it is fair and appropriate to ask a new police officer at that detachment to investigate people that she has to work with for months or years afterwards is unfair to her and unfair to the complainant."
