Agression Sexuelle Et Contacts Sexuels Alors Qu'elle Était En Position D'autorité
1er SEPTEMBRE 2011 Article tiré de : http://www.burnabynow.com/High+ranking+Burnaby+Mountie+accused+sexually+assaulting+f ellow+officer/5340114/story.html High-ranking Burnaby Mountie accused of sexually assaulting fellow officer BY SAM COOPER, POSTMEDIA NEWS SEPTEMBER 1, 2011 The Burnaby RCMP main detachment at 6355 Deer Lake Ave. on Wednessday, August 31, 2011. Photograph by: Glenn Baglo , PNG The contents of this story include graphic details. A high-ranking Burnaby RCMP officer allegedly used his power to sexually assault a mentally vulnerable female subordinate and then coerced her into a relationship and threatened her into silence. According to a claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Aug. 26, Staff-Sgt. Travis Pearson - previously a professional standards supervisor - directed Const. Susan Gastaldo to come to his home in May 2009 in order to discuss her return to work after medical leave. Without Gastaldo's consent he allegedly "forcibly inflicted harmful" sex including anal intercourse, despite at least two demands that he stop. During the next four months, Pearson allegedly gained "submission" from Gastaldo that "was directly related to his authority over her and the command culture of the RCMP," according to Gastaldo's suit. Vancouver police were asked to complete an investigation in 2009 after Gastaldo complained to the RCMP, but the VPD investigator concluded the evidence did not support the complaint and no charges were laid. According to Gastaldo's claim, the VPD detective failed to contact relevant medical experts or adequately consider evidence about alleged inappropriate conduct by Pearson in connection with two other female officers, and several municipal employees, including an alleged relationship "which had elements in common with [Gastaldo's] complaint." In an interview, Gastaldo's lawyer Walter Kosteckyj told The Province she had difficulty coming forward, is under psychological care and likely won't be able to work again.
