The 13-year member of the force was put on paid administrative leave while the case was before the court.
Prince Albert police suspended Henry with pay following the criminal conviction on Oct. 26.
The suspension is required to allow an internal administrative review of the court’s decision.
Prince Albert police said the review will respect the constable’s ability to appeal the court’s decision. The opportunity for appeal expires 30 days after sentencing.
