A B.C. Mountie who fondled the genitals of one of her fellow constables, groped his thigh and made inappropriate sexual comments to him has lost 20 days of pay and 10 vacation days.

Because of her discreditable conduct, Campbell River Const. Valerie Little will also be ineligible for promotion for two years, has to work under supervision for one year and is restricted from working in the same detachment as the man she groped, according to a January decision from the RCMP's conduct board.

"I find that a reasonable person in society, with knowledge of all the relevant circumstances, including the realities of policing in general and the RCMP in particular, would view Const. Little's actions as likely to bring discredit to the force," Josée Thibault wrote in the board's decision.

But Thibault said Little's actions don't meet the bar for firing, because the officer has shown "potential to reform or rehabilitate" by completing a university degree and consulting with a psychologist every week.

At the time of the sexual violations, Little was a new recruit in the Vernon detachment and worked alongside the male victim, who is referred to as Const. A.F. in the decision.

Little groped A.F. without his consent on two separate occasions between late 2009 and early 2010, according to the decision.

The first incident happened on an unknown date while the two constables were observing serious crimes officers interviewing the suspect in a sex crime.

"At one point in the interview, when the male suspect was discussing his own sexual preferences, you leaned over to Constable A. F. and placed your right hand on his left thigh and quietly whispered in his ear words to the effect of: 'I like to take it from behind,' " Thibault wrote.

The second took place when the Vernon RCMP entered a team in a community broomball tournament on Feb. 3, 2010.

Little approached A.F. in a hallway, where he was leaning against the wall, according to the decision.

"You proceeded to grab the penis of Const. A. F. and squeezed his penis with your fingers while stating: 'I see you're not wearing a cup.' Const. A. F. was wearing athletic wear including thin polyester shorts at the time you grabbed onto his penis," Thibault wrote.

"You sexually assaulted Const. A. F. Const. A. F. was embarrassed and shocked by your unwanted sexual advance and responded by walking away from you."

A.F. went to a senior female officer to ask for help dealing with what had happened to him, but she just "chuckled," according to the decision.

That same superior officer, now retired, told the conduct board that she very briefly addressed the issue with Little, telling her something to the effect of "You gotta keep your hands to yourself; it'll get you in trouble."

Little and A.F. never discussed what had happened and he left the Vernon detachment in 2011.

Victim 'was completely overwhelmed'
A.F. reported the assaults to RCMP brass after a chance meeting with Little before a psychologist appointment in 2018. That's when he learned that Little would be transferring to the Nanaimo detachment, where he worked.

"He was completely overwhelmed and never thought that he would see her again. As a result, he spent his entire session with the psychologist talking this through. He felt stuck and knew he could not work with her as he was afraid something else may happen," Thibault said.

As a result of his complaint, Little's planned transfer to the Nanaimo detachment never materialized. She has been posted to Campbell River since 2015.

Little has no previous discipline record, according to the decision, and she denied assaulting her fellow officer. However, the conduct board found A.F.'s version of events to be more probable.

Thibault wrote that it was unlikely A.F. would make up the allegations against Little, "as the less embarrassing and stressful route would have been to not file a sexual misconduct complaint … which subjected him to making public statements and testifying at this hearing."

Umm. My first question.
Why does this get coverage when a cop sexually assaults another officer?
I think its going to be the brunt of a lot of jokes and cops wishing it was them instead of this presumably faithful married guy.

What gets me is that thousands of folks, men, women, children are put through this EVERY day at the airports.
Also the same thing goes, mostly with the homo/bi troopers to those they pull over with a fog/running light out in the middle of the day. Some of the phag troopers go so far as to sodomize their victims.

The TSA use their high resolution naked body scanners to produce their porn, while gladly doing strip searches....".because that gal or little boy might be a terrorist or something." Who gets those kind of jobs?
I wanted to get a fed air marshal position 2001. Then realized that they would make me train to look for fake terrorists while the real ones, TSA, would be feeling up the poor passengers under authority of the patriot act and airline policies.

BFD, it used to happen to me until i retired and started staying at home.

I think i'll just go back to work.

It's a hot topic for me because first and foremost, I had a family member who saved for years to go on a once in a lifetime vacation. It was ruined by a brutal strip search. If I was at the airport, I wouldn't have allowed it and the tax payers would have to pay my room and board for many years.

Prior to that, The job of air Marshal looked appealing.
I was highly qualified for it and would like to have been put into a training program. The weekly training requirements, strictest in law enforcement. Required to qualify every other week or fired. They carried Sigs. Got to travel.
The career issue might not have gone far anyhow.
The fed air marshals left that fine job by the droves.
They were disillusioned with the beurocratic nonsense to justify their positions. Many were whistle blowers on how they were told to make up case files on non-suspects. They were putting innocent people under criminal investigations on terrorist watch lists. Other reasons that I vaguely remember too. Many reported the lack of actual threats. Those with a strong conscience seemed to struggle with the orders.

It sounds like she needs to transfer to the fire department and work the night shift!

Why would any sane individual want to move from Campbell River to Nanaimo? Nanaimo isn’t a bad place but it ain’t Campbell River. Campbell River is getting up there into God’s country while Nanaimo is only a 3 hour boat ride from Hongcouver (Vancouver).

Other than banging stewardesses the Air Marshal gigs suck. They are always leaving to other agencies.

The early retirement sounded good. Hard to believe that we're coming up on near 20 years since 2001. I forgot the many complaint reports other than the main factor at the time.
What's some of the feedback you got from them?

I wasted alot of money trying to get sexually abused, should of joined the mounties.

2009-2010? Geeze! Forget about it.

Need a picture of her before passing judgment.

I think officer AF is a real snowflake...

She's not bad for an older broad. Ten years ago when this happened she'd likely have been pretty hot.

The guy doing the whining must be gay, I'd have told her to meet me in the cleaning closet in five minutes.

I did a google search of her name and it looks like she framed her ex-husband for kiddie porn during their divorce. She looks like a real piece of work.

Clicked on it...definitely abuse.

Nope, she’s got that crazy cat lady look about her.

"Hold still. You're going to feel a little puff of air"

lol

The RCMP has a huge issue with sexual harassment, bullying, and unaccountability. As a Canadian, most of us were proud of our national police force. Over the last decade or two, they've become a national disgrace that needs to be disbanded and replaced.
