The complaint led to criminal harassment and harassing communications charges, and the officer is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 4.
On Friday, the Serious Incident Response Team charged Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Constable Kameron Collins with one count of criminal harassment and one count of harassing communications.
SIRT-NL, the civilian-led oversight agency in Newfoundland and Labrador, holds a mandate to investigate serious incidents involving police actions, including sexual offences, domestic violence, or matters of significant public interest.
The charges against Collins stem from an investigation into a complaint filed against the RNC officer, conducted by the oversight agency.
Collins will appear in court on Nov 4 to answer the charges laid by the provincial oversight team.
As the matter proceeds in court, SIRT-NL stated it will make no further comment on the case since it is now before the courts.
