In a 41-page statement of claim, RCMP Staff Sergeant Caroline O’Farrell described how she was dragged several times in horse manure and urine, had to put up with crude sexual remarks, was bullied and taunted about a past member who reportedly had killed himself after being hazed.
Some of the incidents were videotaped, the lawsuit alleges, including one where, while she was asleep during a bus ride, a male constable stuck a finger through a zipper and poked at her hair, making her think she had been prodded by a penis.
Her parents and husband also made formal complaints and the RCMP’s probe concluded there were more than 100 incidents, the statement of claim said.
“The failure to take any steps to prevent, investigate, or punish the criminal assault and sexual assault against Caroline was intentional and deliberate breach of their legal duties as police officers, intended to cause injury to Caroline,” the court document said.
