REGINA – A former RCMP officer and hockey coach, already facing eight sex assault charges involving boys, has been charged with sexual assaults on three more boys in Yorkton, Saskatchewan between 1987 and 1991 – while he was a serving RCMP member.
Alan John Davidson, 59, was arrested by RCMP in Nanaimo, B.C. on Mar. 26. he was first arrested last year and in making the charges public, police warned there could be more victims.
Between March 2014 and December 2014 three individuals came forward about being sexually assaulted by Davidson while they were living in Yorkton or visiting family in Yorkton.
The victims were all under the age of 18 during the alleged incidents, and came in contact with the accused through his work as an RCMP officer or when he was coaching a local hockey team.

“Identifying a specific team, association or baseball league tends to identify victims,” said Insp. Jennifer Ebert with the Saskatchewan RCMP. “They were youths at the time of the offense and we have to do everything we can to protect their identities.”
Davidson made his first court appearance on Friday morning in Duncan, B.C. and will make his next court appearance in Yorkton.
He served in the RCMP for 14 years, from February 1982 to August 1996. He completed basic training in Regina before being posted to Coronach, Sask. He was then transferred to Lloydminster, Alta. in 1983, Yorkton Saskatchewan and then North Battleford, Sask. He retired in August 1996 and moved to Alberta to pursue a personal business opportunity.
More victims
RCMP believe there may still be victims who have not come forward.
“Investigations like this tend to lead to the identification of other victims,” Ebert said. “That’s why it’s important for us to help the memory recall of individuals who may have been witness to these assaults and or potential victims.”
That’s why the photos of Davidson provided by officers are from years when Mounties suspect any other assaults may have occurred.
RCMP also released a timeline of where Davidson has lived and worked over the last three decades:
1970s to 1981 – Clearwater, BC
August 1981 – February 1982 – Regina, Saskatchewan
