Former Ottawa police deputy chief Uday Jaswal has been charged with sexual assault in connection to an incident involving a female police officer under his supervision at the time. The assault allegedly took place in the workplace.
Multiple sources told CTV News prior to the announcement that Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) was expected to lay the charge as early as Tuesday, following an investigation that has lasted several months. Ottawa Police Service Chief Eric Stubbs and the Ottawa Police Services Board were also informed.
The new allegation involves an incident, which occurred about a decade ago and involves a female officer who spoke to the SIU after Jaswal left policing.
The police watchdog says any updates to its investigation will be posted on the agency's website.
CTV News reached out to the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) and Jaswal's lawyer, Ari Goldkind, but have yet to receive a response in both cases.
Jaswal, who began his career with the OPS in 1995, rose through the ranks to become deputy chief, not just with OPS but also with the Durham Regional Police Service. Allegations of misconduct have plagued him in both municipalities.
Jaswal resigned from OPS in February 2022 under a cloud of sexual harassment allegations from multiple women. He faced eight charges under the Ontario Police Services Act, including discreditable conduct and insubordination.
