The OPP says its Criminal Investigations Division opened an investigation in November 2021 following “complaints made in October 2021 of misconduct by an off-duty police officer in relation to an adult.”
Fifty-year-old Constable James Clark, of Kenora, was subsequently charged.
Clark was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in a Kenora court at a later date.
No further details about the investigation have been released, however the OPP say Clark is a longtime member of the police force.
“The officer has been a member of the OPP for 20 years and has been assigned to judicial duties from the Kenora Detachment since 2015. He is currently on leave,” the OPP said in a statement.
