Supreme Court judge has recommended that a Lower Mainland RCMP officer who was charged with sexually assaulting his spouse should get counselling after the "disturbing" details of one of his emails made it into the court record. Justice Carla Forth cited an email written by the officer that was attached to the record filed in support of the peace bond. "I am of the view that [he] should undertake some type of counselling to address the views he has expressed in this email, particularly in light of the position of trust and power he holds as an RCMP officer." The sexual assault allegation against the RCMP officer is detailed in a B.C. The peace bond also forbids him from possessing a firearm apart from during the course of his work as a peace officer.
