Constable not welcome in city

SASKATOON -- An RCMP constable
guilty of sexual assault will keep his job but North Battleford
City Council wants him transferred out of town.
Brian Robert Ingrey was found
guilty of disgraceful conduct when he appeared before an RCMP
board of adjudication Friday in Saskatoon. He received the maximum
possible sanction, short of losing his job: forfeiture of 10
days' pay of $2,540 and a formal reprimand.
Ingrey, 25, pleaded guilty
to one sexual assault charge in October, 2002 in relation to
a June 9, 2002 incident in Meadow Lake.
The complainant, a female friend
whose name is subject to a publication ban, said Ingrey assaulted
her by digital penetration while she was sleeping.
According to an agreed statement
of facts presented at the time of Ingrey's guilty plea, the incident
happened after a wedding where Ingrey had consumed approximately
four double drinks of alcohol per hour.
Around 2 a.m. Ingrey's common-law
wife went home while he and others went to the home of some close
friends, another common-law couple who had been at the wedding.
All had been drinking and several
people fell asleep in the living room.
The female resident of the
house went to sleep, fully dressed, on top of the covers of her
bed. Some time later Ingrey also laid down, fully dressed, on
the bed and later the woman's spouse came and fell asleep there
too.
The woman said she awoke to
find Ingrey assaulting her. She left the house and later notified
the police.
An RCMP officer went to the
house around 10 a.m. and woke Ingrey, who was still sleeping
on the bed. Ingrey, who was still so intoxicated he could barely
walk, was surprised by the allegation and said he didn't remember
what had happened.
Ingrey was suspended with pay
pending the outcome of the Criminal matter. He pleaded guilty
with the assurance of a joint submission from the Crown and defence
recommending a conditional discharge.
Provincial Court Judge Earl
Kalenith in December rejected the recommendation, however, and
imposed a suspended sentence of 12 months probation and ordered
Ingrey to seek alcohol counselling.
Ingrey is appealing that sentence
June 27 at North Battleford Court of Queen's Bench.
He was reinstated in January
2003 and transferred to North Battleford, where he is currently
stationed.
At the behest of North Battleford
city council, Mayor Wayne Ray wrote to the RCMP last month saying
the council thinks Ingrey should be transferred out of the city
because his name was made public and that could make it hard
for him to do his job.
