The head of a victim's advocacy group who is also a retired police inspector has resigned after one of his clients — a domestic violence survivor — reported she felt forced into a sexual relationship. CBC News has reviewed several text messages and emails between the two that confirm there was a sexual relationship. Then, three months into their advocate/client relationship, Emma says Kaye began pushing boundaries in his text messages. In August, four months after the sexual relationship began, emails between Emma and Kaye show his wife had found out about the relationship with Emma. She says Smallbones refused to look at an email she had proving there had been a sexual relationship.
