VANCOUVER – More criminal charges have been laid against a former Vancouver police detective constable.
British Columbia’s prosecution service says James Fisher faces two additional counts of sexual assault and a charge of breach of trust in relation to a witness in a criminal investigation.
Fisher was on active duty when he was charged in December with sexual assault, sexual exploitation and obstruction of justice.
