The Crown attorney in the sexual assault trial of a retired RCMP inspector says the officer assaulted a woman inside a locked washroom at police headquarters in British Columbia. Booker says the woman, who was a civilian employee, will testify that Shields sexually assaulted her in the fall of 2009 at E Division headquarters in Vancouver. Shields arrived in court flanked by two lawyers, and did not respond to a request for comment. Jeff Wong was the first witness to testify, describing photos he was asked to take of the Mounties' former headquarters in May 2015 to assist with an internal investigation. Wong says he was told only that the photos were for a "sensitive situation" involving professional standards.
