B.C. Mountie loses court appeal after coercive sexual relationship with jail guard
A three-judge panel said the RCMP conduct ruling was reasonable after Turner appealed findings that he used his authority to coerce consent.
- William Turner, a British Columbia RCMP officer, lost an appeal regarding his 2018 dismissal for misconduct involving a coercive sexual relationship with a jail guard.
- In 2014, Turner, then in charge of a Surrey jail, began a sexual relationship with a city employee, later using his position of authority to coerce sexual favors.
- Testifying about the relationship, she described Turner as "very aggressive, animalistic, forceful, angry and intense," and she complied with his demands for oral sex to avoid being berated during her shifts.
- Last week, a three-judge panel dismissed Turner's appeal, finding The Federal Court correctly rejected his bid to quash disciplinary measures for discreditable conduct, including a "demonstrated history of poor decision-making."
- Seeking reinstatement, Turner had claimed unreasonable delays and evidentiary issues, but The Federal Court ruled courts cannot "substitute its decision for that of the decision maker.
