A London police officer, who is facing several charges including sexual assault, is now facing an additional charge for breaching a condition of his release.
The latest charge was laid on Tuesday.
The two-year member of the London Police Service was originally charged with sexually assaulting a woman he had been in a relationship with while off-duty on November 17, 2017. Because he had been in a relationship with the woman, his name wasn’t released in order to protect her identity. However, the London Free Press identified him as Constable Stephen Williams. The Free Press said the woman who accused him of sexual assault argued that not publicly identifying him posed a risk to public safety.
In early December 2017, Williams was also charged with two counts of criminal harassment, one count of being unlawfully in a dwelling, and one count of making a harassing phone call following an investigation by Waterloo Regional Police. Charges of breach of undertaking and criminal harassment were laid against him in mid-December of 2017.
The officer remains suspended with pay in accordance with the Police Services Act.
He was scheduled to appear in court to answer to the latest charge on Tuesday.
