Ontario’s police watchdog continues to investigate an allegation of sexual assault against a member of the Thunder Bay Police Service.

The incident is alleged to have occurred on October 29th.

Several investigators have been assigned to the case and in a statement the Special Investigation’s Unit says it does not release details to the public which could potentially identify the individuals involved in the investigation.

“This is because the release of information related to investigations of sexual assault allegations is associated with a risk of further deterring what is already an under-reported crime and undermining the heightened privacy interests of the involved parties, most emphatically, the complainants.”
