N.S. RCMP Officer Faces New Sexual Assault Charge by SiRT

In late June 2025, a 40-year-old RCMP officer from Nova Scotia named William McNutt was formally charged with sexual assault in connection to an incident that occurred in May 2024.
This charge arose following a November 7, 2024 referral from the RCMP to the province’s police oversight agency after a woman reported being sexually assaulted by McNutt.
McNutt had previously been suspended without pay in January 2024 and faced multiple sexual offence charges from incidents in 2019 and 2023 that led to ongoing trials.
RCMP Assistant Commissioner Dennis Daley called the additional charges "extremely alarming and distressing" and confirmed full cooperation with SiRT during their investigation.
Constable William McNutt is scheduled to attend a court hearing in Shubenacadie on August 11, 2025, as his ongoing sexual assault cases continue to be processed through the legal system, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of police behavior in Nova Scotia.
