Const. Robert Brown, who was given a conditional discharge on a sexual assault charge, has resigned effective immediately from the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS), the force said May 9.

The charge stemmed 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.

The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service charged Brown, who was a primary reserve member with the North Saskatchewan Regiment.

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

SPS announced on April 23 the 18-year member’s actions were the subject of an administrative review pursuant to the Saskatchewan Police Act. He remained suspended with pay pending its outcome.

The internal review has since been discontinued.
