Ottawa police officer charged wi

By Gary Dimmock and meghan hurley, OTTAWA CITIZEN December 15, 2013

Ottawa Police Constable Scott Fenton has been charged with criminal harassment and assault with a weapon after detectives investigated a series of incidents they say happened between May and December.

Fenton, 44, is to appear in court later this month on two counts of criminal harassment, more commonly known as stalking, and one count of assaulting a woman with a weapon.

The police have not publicly named the officer, who is now the subject of an internal affairs investigation, which could yield additional charges under the Police Services Act.

The police officer, who was off-duty at the time of the allegations, has been assigned to desk duty under strict conditions pending the outcome of the criminal case.

“This matter is before the courts and it is important that we respect due process,” said Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau. “The Ottawa Police expects the conduct of all officers to be of the highest standard and reflective of the values of our community.”

Const. Fenton used to work as a general-assignment investigator in west division. In 2006, he was publicly thanked in writing by the OPP for rerouting traffic after a bad crash in the 417 corridor.

Amazing how long it takes the Ottawa Police to charge one of their own
and it took a complaint by a female to do it and even then, it took apparently
from May to December 2013 before a charge was laid.

That begs the question as towhat efforts were made before a charge was finally laid.
Did the complainant complaint to the OIPRD or
did she or he have a lawyer who knew who to contact in the Ottawa Police?

The Ottawa Police generally only have respect for "Due Process" when it does NOT
involve one of their own.

Recently a Detective Peter Vanderzander fabricated evidence and the Ottawa Police
spent a lot of time covering up for him.

Then there is Children's Aid Society Worker Phillip Hiltz-Laforge who fabricates evidence, again
the Ottawa Police refuse to investigate

Then there is Children's Aid Society Lawyer Marguerite Isobel Lewis who fabricate evidence and obstructed Justice. Again the Ottawa Police refused to lay a charge because of her "position" .

It goes on an on. The Ottawa Police is fundamentally corrupt from the top to the bottom protecting
their associates in Crime and fabicating evidence and, omitting evidence to suit their own political agenda.

Ottawa Police reeks of a lack of "due process" not to mention corruption in the form of abuse of process for
their own funding, satisfying political correctness etc.

The Ottawa Police also obstruct justice by failing to provide disclosure and using the criminal courts
to make family court decisions for women and or supporting their partners in crime, the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa.
