The applicant was a police officer with the London Police Service (“LPS”). The Crown alleged that the applicant accessed and disseminated confidential police information to unauthorized sources, and attempted to obstruct justice by using his position as a police officer to surreptitiously secure the release of a person in custody. The LPS turned carriage of the matter over to the Ontario Provincial Police before any charges were laid. The applicant testified and stated that he was under the influence of a con man and acted under duress. The applicant was convicted of breach of trust, conspiracy to commit breach of trust, and attempt to obstruct justice. The application for a stay of proceedings was dismissed. Both the application for a stay of proceedings, and the conviction appeal were dismissed.
