Incident Description
Sometime between July 30 and Sept 2, 2018, an Edmonton woman in a relationship with an RCMP officer attempted to end the relationship and asked him to leave her home. The officer then committed what ASIRT described as a "serious sexual assault". ASIRT was directed to investigate the incident in February 2020, and on January 22, 2021, Cpl. Kire Kondoski was charged with one count of sexual assault. The Crown discontinued prosecuting the case on September 24, 2021, with an Alberta Crown Prosecution Services spokesperson telling the Edmonton Journal “Upon further review, Calgary Prosecutions concluded that the evidence respecting the sexual assault charge against Kondoski did not meet the standard of reasonable likelihood of conviction and therefore the charge was withdrawn.”
