A Halifax doctor accused of sexually assaulting RCMP members declined to speak publicly Thursday, even as police said the number of complaints against him had grown to about 40. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brian Brennan, the commanding officer of the force in Nova Scotia, talks to reporters in Halifax on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2018. The now-retired doctor said he treated RCMP members and handled some administrative tasks as well. The investigation into the Nova Scotia doctor comes as Toronto police say they are also probing sexual assault allegations against an RCMP doctor who used to practise in the Mounties' Ontario division. He said the RCMP received its information from sources other than the recently settled class action involving over 1,000 female RCMP employees who alleged they suffered sexual abuse and harassment.
