CHATHAM, Ont. — Ontario’s police watchdog says an officer with the Chatham-Kent Police Service has been charged with sexual assault.
The Special Investigations Unit says the incident that led to the charges took place last August when a 23-year-old woman came across the officer.
The SIU says the officer drove the woman to a parking lot in his marked cruiser, where she was allegedly sexually assaulted.
Const. Kenneth Miller has been charged with both sexual assault and breach of trust.
He will appear in court in July.
The SIU is an arms-length agency that investigates police incidents involving death, injury or allegations of sexual assault.
