When we are children, we are all told to go to the cops for help if we are in trouble. That is, until we turn 13 and are constantly treated as suspicious by these same motherfuckers. Well, this is one fucking lowlife who should be convicted, and then put in general prison population...

RCMP officer charged in sex child abuse case
BY DANIELLE BELL ,OTTAWA SUN
An Ottawa RCMP officer and his wife face a string of charges in a child abuse investigation, where sources say a child was shackled and cuffed.
Police sources tell the Sun a boy had run away from home, and the father suggested where the child would be, and was, found.
The child did not want to return home, sources say, and the father also told officers they would find marks on the child.
Neighbours say the couple had three children — two boys and a baby — and cruisers had been outside the home for several days earlier this week.
Ottawa police, who are conducting the investigation, say the man was arrested on Tuesday after an investigation at his home.
A patrol officer was responding to an Ottawa home, say police, but they declined to elaborate on the nature of the call.
Police also say there is more than one victim but won’t elaborate.
“Just given the sheer number and type of charges, it is a very serious investigation we’re conducting,” said Ottawa police acting Staff Sgt. Frank D’Aoust, with the sexual assault and child abuse section.
The RCMP is “aware of the allegations” and the Mountie was suspended, with pay, on Wednesday.
He has not been on active duty since May 2011 but RCMP Cpl. Lucy Shorey would not elaborate on what may have led to that, how long he has been on the force or what his role is.
An RCMP internal code of conduct investigation is also underway.
The 41-year-old man has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault, three counts of assault with a weapon, one count of aggravated sexual assault, one count of failing to provide the necessaries of life and one count of forcible confinement.
His 34-year-old wife faces similar charges except for the sex assault.
The Mountie’s face was covered with stubble and he bowed his shaved head as prosecutor Marie Dufort outlined the allegations against him.
He’s expected to appear in court Friday to be examined by a court psychiatrist before a bail hearing is scheduled.
His wife appeared minutes earlier wearing a puffy white coat trimmed with fur, her face framed by curly, shoulder-length dark hair.
She never spoke beyond saying her name but nodded that she understood the charges.
She will appear by video Friday.
The wife’s list of charges alleges she assaulted the boy with a wooden spoon.
The names of the accused are not being released to protect the identity of the victims.
The evidence is covered by a publication ban.
