OPP officer trial
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2013 4:55 am
Mon, Nov 4th, '13 - 5:27 pm
The Crown began its case in front of a 12 person jury today in the trial of a man, now under suspension as an OPP officer with the Central Hastings detachment.
He faces 9 charges in total, with those being aggravated assault, assault, and mischief under $5,000.
The charges involve incidents in a time span from 2007 to May of last year.
The Crown’s first witness was a woman the officer was in a relationship with.
She described the relationship as either “great” or “horrible”.
She described numerous incidents of arguments involving finances and childcare that ended with the man losing his temper. In one case it’s alleged he threw a milkshake at her, and in another that he hit her on the back with a shovel in the garden.
She admitted to having a problem with jealousy early in the relationship.
She broke into tears describing an incident at a Stirling area home in May of last year where she alleges the man, angry at having been refused sex after a party at the home, threw a candle and various pieces of bedroom furniture at her.
She suffered a broken jaw, swelling and various bruises and cuts to her face and body.
The woman said at the end of the 2 minute barrage, the man simply stood and said “I’m going to jail”.
The prosecution continues with the woman returning to the stand Tuesday.
