An RCMP member who had been serving in Nova Scotia has been charged with sexual assault by Greater Sudbury Police.

In October 2021, Greater Sudbury Police began an investigation into a complaint it received relating to an incident in Ontario on October 2. Greater Sudbury Police subsequently charged Cst. Filip Kedzierski in November with one count of sexual assault relating to the incident, which occurred between Cst. Kedzierski and a woman while he was off duty.

Cst. Kedzierski was posted to the Musquodoboit Harbour detachment at the time of the offense and remains suspended with pay.

Cst. Kedzierski appeared in Ontario Provincial Court in Sudbury Tuesday to face the sexual assault charge and is scheduled to appear again at a later date. An internal Code of Conduct investigation is also underway in relation to Cst. Kedzierski’s conduct. Any further actions will be taken once the criminal proceedings and conduct investigation have concluded.
