OPP commissioner Thomas Carrique says Jason Redmond is officially no longer part of the police force.
Redmond, a former officer with the Leeds County detachment, was suspended from the OPP in 2015 after being charged for taking part in a drug trafficking scheme.
Since his conviction on those charges in 2018, he was also found guilty of sexual assault last year and convicted on nine assault charges earlier this week.
“The corrupt, disgraceful and criminal behaviour of this individual is inconsistent with the exemplary conduct of OPP members and our values of serving Ontarians with pride, professionalism and honour,” says Carrique. “This behaviour also undermines the selfless and heroic acts our officers perform every day while serving and protecting our communities.”
Redmond was dismissed as of Thursday and has been sentenced to six years in prison for the sexual assault conviction.
He’s also been ordered to provide a DNA sample, avoid contacting the victim or her family, and to register as a sex offender.
