An RCMP officer based in Calgary has been ordered to resign after being found guilty of misconduct for an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old lacrosse player he coached in 2019, CBC News has learned. The RCMP would not provide further details because Martin has 14 days to appeal. "As we are now within an appeal period, it would be inappropriate for the Alberta RCMP to comment further." Teen's family, ALA reported relationship to RCMPThe texts were sent in 2019 and came to light at a major lacrosse tournament. Kilbride said the ALA immediately determined that Martin's behaviour was "well beyond" the scope of internal discipline so the lacrosse association "immediately" reported the relationship to RCMP, as did the girl's family.
