UPDATE: SPS constable given conditional discharge on sexual assault allegation quits

After pleading guilty earlier this year, a Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) officer has received a conditional discharge on a sexual assault allegation.

A conditional discharge means Cst. Robert Brown will not have a criminal record if he follows a series of conditions for one year.

The charge stems from a reported incident on Remembrance Day in 2017 at the Sergeant Hugh Cairns VC Armoury in Saskatoon. The victim was a civilian attending the event.
