The Special Investigations Unit says the alleged incidents took place in December 2022.
It says the officer is required to appear in court in Sault Ste. Marie on Jan. 8.
The SIU says it will not provide more information about the case because the matter is before the courts.
The SIU is an independent agency that investigates the conduct of police officers that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
