An Ontario Provincial Police officer has been charged with obtaining sexual services for consideration and breach of trust.

James John Clark, 50, was arrested Tuesday by the OPP and released on a promise to appear in court at a later date in Kenora.

His release conditions require him to stay away from his alleged victim Ruth Machimity, who was at the centre of an APTN investigation in November of last year.

Machimity identified Clark as an officer who paid her to purchase sexual services from her, while she was in the wide swath of drug addiction.

APTN’s investigation included taking Machimity’s allegations to the OPP, which sparked a police investigation by the professional standards unit.

Machimity then gave an official statement to the OPP in October, 2021.

Clark hasn’t been on active duty since the allegations first came to light.

He’s been an officer with the OPP for 20 years and spent the last five in Kenora assigned to court services.

Clark was previously stationed in Atikokan and Sioux Lookout.

APTN’s investigation continues. If anyone has information they can call or text reporter Kenneth Jackson at 613-325-6073. Please leave a detailed message.
