The Ontario Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says it has laid additional charges against Kevin Seamons, a former Durham Regional Police Service officer, in connection with a historic sexual assault investigation. According to the SIU, Seamons faces five additional charges related to an alleged sexual assault of another woman. The alleged incident is said to have occurred sometime between May 1999 and December 2009.
The SIU previously charged Seamons in the same broad matter, and additional offences are now being pursued as part of the watchdog’s ongoing investigation into allegations involving young victims. The reports describe that Seamons is an ex-officer and that the SIU—Ontario’s police watchdog—handles investigations of serious allegations involving police officers.
Both sources indicate the new charges add to the existing set of allegations already before the courts. No further details on the specific nature of each new charge were provided in the excerpts, and the allegations are presented as claims by the SIU pending the outcome of legal proceedings.
