Nova Scotia Mountie charged with sexual assault

HALIFAX – The RCMP have charged a Nova Scotia Mountie with sexual assault.

Investigators say they were dealing with an unrelated matter in July 2015, when information came forward about an alleged assault of a woman in Auburn, N.S., in 1995.

Police allege the constable touched the woman in a sexual manner without her consent while he was posted to the detachment in Bridgetown.

RCMP Const. Charles Quartey, who is currently posted to the Northwest Territories, has been charged with one count of sexual assault.

He’s expected to appear in provincial court in Kentville, N.S., on Sept. 27.

Quartey was placed on administrative duties in November 2015 and was suspended from duty on June 17, 2016.
