The appellant, an Ontario Provincial Police officer, appealed a penalty decision ordering his resignation or dismissal after he pleaded guilty to discreditable conduct for recording and sharing a sex video of his former girlfriend without her consent.
The appellant argued the Hearing Officer erred in assessing the seriousness of the misconduct, the role of his PTSD diagnosis, and the consistency of the penalty.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission dismissed the appeal, finding the Hearing Officer's decision was reasonable, supported by the record, and contained no errors in principle.
The penalty of dismissal was confirmed.
