Resigned Ottawa police officer had sex with distressed teen who had been in his charge that night ottnews ottawa

Sundeep Singh pleaded guilty in case involving sex with distressed teen who'd been in his charge that nightConst. Sundeep Singh, a former patrol officer with Ottawa police, was charged last October by Ontario's Special Investigations Unit with sexual assault and breach of trust. He pleaded guilty to breach of trust on Friday and resigned.In an Ottawa courtroom on Friday, Sundeep Singh pleaded guilty to breach of trust and a charge of sexual assault was withdrawn.

The 19-year-old waited in Singh's patrol vehicle for the ambulance to arrive, and their interaction there was "professional and courteous," according to the statement. Singh called her cellphone not long after she left and, surprised to hear she wasn't in hospital, asked where she was. She told him, and at about 4:15 a.m. he arrived to pick her up and offered to take her home, which she accepted.

Singh then touched her sexually through an opening in the plexiglass partition to the back seat, and they stayed there for half an hour before he drove to her residence, walked her to her door and left, according to the statement.

What was he resigned about?

Now remind us again how the Freedom Convoy was the biggest threat EVAH! to public safety? 🤔

Rape. Plain and simple. He should be charged as such. CBC - you need to do better with your reporting.

you meant cop raped kid, be better

CBC bending over backwards to find an ok sounding phrasing of “Law enforcement Child rape”:

The phrase you’re looking for is “Cop rapes teen in his custody.”

You miss spelled rape

Sexually assaulted not “had sex with”.

Rape.

Officer Sundeep Singh Raped a teenager in his care, and gets to Resign and Sexual Assault charges are Dropped! 🤬🤮 LockHimUp

You spelled Rape wrong

That's quite an editorial choice to call this 'cop had sex with distressed teen in his charge' and not 'cop raped a minor'

RAPE, a police officer raped them

😲

And people still wonder why many of us don’t trust cops?

Ah yes, the special voice the media uses for cops

Had what? Minors can’t consent. He RAPED her.

Lefty_Mind The word is “raped.”

the word you're looking for is 'rape'

Really weird that you haven't changed the headline yet: 'Resigned Ottawa police officer raped a distressed teen who had been in his charge that night'. Do better.

So he raped her? Great reporting. Obviously done by someone who condones it.

He fucking raped her

Wow sounds like rape but I guess I don’t know words anymore

theRickHarp Raped. The word is RAPED. why do media have a hard time using the word RAPE. He is in a position of power over a Young teen in distress. He is a RAPIST. say the word. Rapist. Rapist cop. The cop is a rapist who raped a teen.

You spelled 'rape' wrong you pathetic copagandists.

You mean RAPE? Adult with teenager is rape. Person of authority with someone in their charge is rape. It's RAPE!

Can we call it what it is? “Sex with distressed MINOR” is rape, CBC. Try again.

'had sex with' It never ends with CBC. Always soft peddling anything to do with law enforcement. The cops never had better friends that the feckless numwats at CBC.

Rape. It's called rape. Do better.

Raped. The cop raped that teenager. Reminder of what the first “A” in ACAB stands for. It’s not just US cops.

The words you were looking for CBC was sexually assaulted

there's a word for this, it's called 'rape'

Police officer rapes vulnerable child

Suspended with pay since Feb 21 and not charged by SIU until October 21? Are the Ottawa police trying to reward bad behavior? And what’s up with CBSOttawa downplaying this rape? Shameful!

That's a lot of words for raped a childb

Did the dirty pig get charged or did the dirty pig walk away like all the dirty pigs do. NEVER TRUST A COP PERIOD!!

It was willing. Otherwise she would of came out saying it’s rape. And nothing in officers hand book says you can’t have sex

Unbelievable headline cbc. It’s rape, ffs.

You spelled RAPE wrong

That's rape. A police raped a teen.

Shame on you for this headline. It's rape. Call it as it is. Don't negate the victim suffering so it doesn't sound as bad. Fix it

So ah...RAPE then....yes, I believe that is waht it's called...

I'd like to know if his colleagues are surprised by this even a little bit.

Raped, while in police custody, just doesn't have the same ring I guess

That's rape. Please report accurately.

imagine getting sexually assaulted as a teen and the most prominent network in the country chooses to euphemize the story in a way that protects the police. that would be crazy

You spelled rape wrong.

He raped a child. Say the words you cowards.

NO!!!!!!!!! 'with' means he had consent RAPE is the accurate term for sex without consent languagematters

Did you all even read the article or just the headline?

FTA:'Before resigning on Friday, Singh had been suspended with pay since February 2021.' Motherfucker...

Headlines like this are only written for police crimes

Civilized people call it RAPE , …you’re fired

You mean rape right?

Did you not know that sex with a minor is called rape, or....

🤮🤮🤮

how would you write this headline if it was your daughter? 😡

Resigned Ottawa police officer h̶a̶d̶ ̶s̶e̶x̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ *raped* distressed teen who had been in his charge that night. ftfy

Fixed it for you. Do better CBC

'Resigned Ottawa police officer raped distressed teen under his charge' There fixed it for you.

Jian Ghomeshi got a job writing headlines at CTVottawa, did he?

Police officer raped teen in his custody Fixed that for you

HeRapedHer

Who wrote this headline?

What the hell is wrong with you people - it was a sexual ASSAULT !!

Rape of a minor?

do better with your reporting, this young lady was raped, period, end of sentence, no wonder we don't have trust in the OttawaPolice anymore. 😡🤬

That's called rape. He raped her. Fix your headline.

The cop was very unprofessional/inappropriate but it wasn't rape and it wasn't a minor and it was consensual. Let's not disrespect people who have actually gotten raped. We throw words around like confetti these days with our pent up emotions. Read the story and understand it.

His resignation isn't good enough and you need to change your misleading headline.

*rape. Use the correct words here. It matters to “journalists”

Here let me fix that for you: Resigned Ottawa police officer raped distressed teen who had been in his charge that night

It's rape. Call it rape.

Does Canada permit cops raping people in custody the way lots of jurisdictions in America do? I hope not

it's rape - of a child. Report it that way. Why are you trying to avoid calling it what it is?

She called a CHILDREN’s health line for help…

“Touched her sexually”? “Had intercourse” “Flirtatious” What the hell ?! No. He raped and sexually assaulted and abused her. Holy hell. Come ON.

So this ‘problem’/criminal/unethical/unprofessional officer will be permitted to seek work elsewhere? …after the dust settles? OttawaPolice Thanks for not taking action swiftly enough and displacing and perpetuating the problem. powerdynamics protectthevulnerable

RAPE. EDITORIAL RESIGNATION. REWRITE CBC

Another cover up.

He should have been fired!!!

He raped an underage girl

Ottawa police officer uses his position of power to sexually assault a teenager in his charge. There fixed the headline. Stop minimizing rape

Rape. Please call it what it is. Rape. He raped a child in his charge. Stop trying to lessen the vile act. He raped a child

It’s rape, CBC editor. R. A. P. E.

Please do better and call it a Rape. Please is this sorry excuse of a person a white man? Would the headline have read ‘rape’ if it was a BIPOC?!?

He didnt have sex. Sex with minors isn't a thing. It doesnt exist. He raped her.

Pablo liar hypocrite corrupt politicians liberal federal

Sexual predators

What a despicable story. Resignation is not enough.

Sex with a distressed TEEN? That’s RAPE!! Geez media, you become American more and more every day…

Your headline is misleading, . This should actually read OttawaPolice officer RAPED a young woman who was in an officer's care. The word you're missing here is RAPED.

K so neither one was in their right state of mind. Just 1 had a badge on. What's gonna be the officers punishment.?

Why hasn’t he been charged

Rape. It's called rape.

Because W.T.F.

Officer Sundeep Singh raped a teen whilst on duty? Typical police

Sickening

Acab

it just show how despicable Ottawa cops are , these Justin Trudeau thugs should all be put out of work when the Conservative take over

Something really needs to be done. So many Ottawa officers being charged with sexual assault + more.

This is an outrageous headline. SHAME! This is sexual assault.

RAPE mediacomplicity

It's telling that you used the word teen which would make many assume she was a minor versus saying she was 19. However, The officer crossed many boundaries.

IshatReza He pled guilty to breach of trust and resigned so no need to worry about those pesky sexual assault crimes while on duty or anything right? It's all good? He can just go about his business?

Legit 'RAPE' get it right 🙄

IshatReza That's called rape, CBC.

ACAB, especially this rapist

The fuck kind of headline is this - whose water you carrying ffs

Rape. He raped her.

IshatReza So he raped her

So rape then. Why are you trying to cover up a rape of teen by a cop? Because that is what you are doing right now. 'An Ottawa Cop raped an intoxicated and vulnerable teen'

... police officer had RAPED distressed teen ... Fixed it for you!

Sex A grown ass man can't have sex with a teen Thats rape, stop fucking protecting pedophiles

Wut? How does this make it through as a headline? Cop has sex with a distressed teen under his authority? It’s rape, it’s rape, it’s rape.

Hey, that’s rape, no matter how euphemistically you phrase it. ARGH

you spelled *rape wrong

This is why I and other victims don't report. Cops are often sexual predators too, or refuse to believe you & media will always frame things against the victim, trying to imply consent or blame.

It is clearly sexual assault

Sounds rapey.

RAAAAAAAAPE. R.A.P.E. Rape.

WTH?!?! Who is writing these headlines? This is criminal, much like what this cop did...

The word you are looking for is rape. By definition any adult who has sex with a minor is committing rape. (Surely using one word instead of three would be a snappier headline, as well as more accurate?)

Raped***

Lefty_Mind Had sex with a teen in distress? Wtf CBC

CBCNews it’s called RAPE. Will text this article to all my friends and family so they won’t watch anymore. You have failed. We’ve had enough

“Had sex with a teen”? A cop? No. Nope. No way. It’s called rape.

The more you sanction bullying in any form from police, the more you embolden them to coerce + take advantage of a disarmed public at every turn; starting with the easiest targets, the most vulnerable.

Pretty sure that’s sexual assault.

I hope his resignation does stop him from being charged.

What a disgrace! It was rape! The police officer raped a teen in custody!

Jan571 that's called Rape actually

It’s not sex, it’s statutory rape.

There's definetely more to this story than what is being printed here. This all sounds like a very elaborate pretense in order to cast doubt as to whether or not this was actually consensual. In any case, no officer should have ever involved themselves to the degree he did.

He sexually assaulted an intoxicated person while on shift when she was in his charge earlier in that night. Correct your headline - remove 'had sex'. I can't believe this headline has been up for 10+ hours - are you not bothering to read the disgust and anger in these comments?

“Had sex with” is and remains an odd way to spell “raped”

CdnMediaFailed it’s called RAPE he needs to be charged😡

CRTCeng Biased reporting like this harms all victims of RAPE. This is a child victim of RAPE.

Damn CBC won’t say ‘cop rapes kid,’ color me shocked

“had sex with distressed teen”. what an inaccurate headline if ever there was one: 🤮

Did he repay the salary he recieved from the day of offence till resigned ? Probably not eh … and i think a more serious charge is required considering the teen was under the influence , had mental issues … no ? Oh that’s right , he was a cop at the time , so 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Trudeauscanada

You spelled rape incorrectly.

The police officer should be in jail and the editor who approved this headline should be resigned

Lefty_Mind Rape

Ottawa police officer raped distressed teen

Say the damned word you absolute fail-media RW shills. RAPE

RAPE

It was rape. It was rape. It was rape. It was rape.

Jeezuz

Like so many others have said before me please call this what it is RAPE. Just because the Crown decided to drop the Sexual Assault charges doesn’t mean she wasn’t clearly assaulted. Sex is an act between 2 consenting adults with no power imbalance.

HE RAPED HER. getTheFactsRight

IshatReza My goodness

At this point might as well defund the CBC along with the police. What a disgrace.

Not many read the actual article do they? 😑

Isn't that actually rape? Did I miss something with the definition of the word? Why don't you call it for what it is? Are you afraid the word 'rape' will offend some people? Gee, why don't we trust the police anymore?

Call this what it is- rape. End of sentence. Do better! 🤬🤬🤬

Sex is a choice, rape is being forced. This is NOT SEX

The headline has a sense of trying to normalize or mitigate what happened... Oh never mind it's a CBC article...

Lefty_Mind *pedophile police officer raped a teen in his charge and is going to prison

Everybody archive this story. It will either be taken down, spinned, or edited further depending how far the outrage gets.

Ottawa Police doing their darndest to rebuild that public trust they lost during the Convoy /s. What a mess of a force. Full of cowards and pervs.

Okay so 'rape' is not a crime here, it's all 'sexual assault'. Fine. But an adult cannot 'have sex' with a teen. That is still sexual assault since they cannot consent. Stop with the copaganda and call it what it is.

Gross

He absolutely did not “have sex” with her. That phrasing implies consent and is incredibly irresponsible given the circumstances. Do better.

Sounds very similar to ResignSeanChu

ottawapolice at there finest, opp should be investigating

“Raped” a teen in distress. Get it right CBC. Also, wtf Ottowa Police.

In this instance sex is spelt R A P E.

Ottawa police have MUCH more DIRTY laundry soon to be exposed VIA my documentary among many police depts in Ontario. Ottawa & could care less. survivor ontario trafficking CULT since 1978....involved is the highest areas of protection? Of our vulnerable & kids FOLKS

Resigned Ottawa police officer RAPED a distressed teen who had been in his charge that night

I think you meant RAPED! Do better or get a different job!

HAD SEX WITH?

Lol is called rape. Job cbc. Tell it as is not

IshatReza Scumbag I hope he has been charged with rape.

Had sex with? No, he raped her.

An Ottawa police officer raped a teen. Fix your “facts” CBC Police members look after each other not society. rcmp canada sexualassault Police rape

It's called R A P E. Not 'had sex'

Isn't that rape? Will he get a nice, paid suspension?

This really doesn’t sound like rape

He RAPED her. Jesus CBC.

That Ottawa police department sure has it's discipline problems call for a investigation

Acab.

DefundThePolice

cityofcalgary resignseanchu

You almost make the rape of this young woman seem consensual CBCNews CdnMediaFailed

Clearly sexual assault. Downplaying sexual crimes l, especially by figures holding authority is oart of the priblem. CBCNews do better

I’m not at all joking here… do we need to have thousands of Canadians sign a petition before Canadian news outlets will stop referring to rape as “having sex”? Seriously, this cannot continue. What do we have to do?

Cop commits rape. Fixed your headline.

IshatReza Why do you print a headline like this? Its RAPE. Period. Cal a thing a thing. Its like saying someone put a pillow over a face and they slept forever. No its murder. Pretty black and white.

Gonna be objective her but the 19 yr old clearly was intent on shagging the PO. Police officer helped himself to a situation that 'distressed' teen began. IF ANYTHING this speaks to the weak mental health supports available. Both parties have issues that need to be worked out

'Before resigning on Friday, Singh had been suspended WITH PAY since February 2021.' WTF? Basically rewarded with a year and half of free money.

You mean raped. He raped her.

I've had my fill of police officers today. Canadian and American.

Has anyone read the whole report? 19 yro is not a child. It was consensual but not appropriate as he was on duty. That was reported in the citizen with less damming head line.

WHY was this not processed through the Court System? It was RAPE... A police officer engaging is a sex act with a distressed teenager? WTF? WHILE ON DUTY ? What kind of KANGAROO Process came up with this?

RAPED

you're bootlicking scum for using this kind of passive language

The word you're looking for is 'raped'

Let me revise your headline for you, free of charge. “Disgraced former Ottawa police officer raped underage minor under his care”

Irresponsible reporting. He didn’t have sex with her. He raped a child. Like seanchucalgary did to a child in Calgary. But don’t worry. Nothing will happen him.

“Had sex with” Jesus Christ. He raped her.

Rape. He raped her. You people are HELPING him.

wtf?!

'Resigned Ottawa police officer raped teen who had been in his charge'. Fixed it for you

While on duty, getting paid. It's worst then a boss's authority over an employee, a boss would be sued, as he should be.

This is Rape !

That would be rape.

This is RAPE‼️. Charge him now🤬🤬

Um so he raped her is what you are trying to say.

Raped, not 'had sex'

It’s rape CBC.

I'm not a journalist but that's a pretty brutal way to phrase rape, idk 🤷

'Had sex with distressed teen' is whoever wrote this headline telling on themselves. The word is 'rape': no consent is possible in this scenario.

ACAB

Raped!!! He RAPED her! Get it right.

It was rape. You know, it wasn't so long ago when the CBC had the balls to call a crime a crime. You might as well be CTV now.

IshatReza A year and a half of suspension with pay for a cop who raped a drunk teen, with frostbite/medical issues and with mental health problems...let that sink in. CBCNews can get headline writers that call rape a rape , one would think?

Suspended WITH pay since February 2021 😡 😤 😠!!!!! Disgusting!

This is beyond disgusting. He sexually assaulted (not “had sex with”) a very troubled and vulnerable young woman. And he essentially got away with it. Shameful.

when an adult has sex with a child it's actually called rape as children cannot consent to sex.

No wonder Ottawa progressives hate freedom.

A man cannot have sex with a teenaged girl. It's rape and only rape. If you're going to report these stories, report them properly!

Really puts that Thin Blue Line flag in perspective.

He raped her? Is that what you’re trying to say? Ottawa police officer raped distressed teen.

It’s disgusting! That’s why we keep saying CdnMediaFailed! They’re now minimizing everything now from rape, racism, Covid, transphobia, ableism, etc!

that's not sex. that's rape.

Rape lol did anyone read the article? Laughable to call this rape. I swear women are ruining all their gains over the decades with these crazy accusations. I don't even hold the door for women anymore. Too scared I'll be accused of harrassment.

Wth with this headline - fix it immediately.

It’s rape and he should go to jail.

This is rape, when are you going to correct your tweet ?

Also ACAB DefundThePolice

She's distressed because he raped her.

I am not okay with letting officers resign with an agreement to dismiss crimes against vulnerable persons. They can chose to resign to avoid internal discipline and the court case should remain.

I think you mean that a 'Resigned Ottawa police officer sexually assaulted a distressed minor who had been in his charge that night' Fixed it for you

Resigned Ottawa police officer who raped a distressed teen who had been in his charge that night There, fixed it for you

hey seanchucalgary CalgaryPolice its doable

CRINGE: Is that how we are describing Rape/Sexual Assault these days? Do better.

Child molesting coward screws victim, fixed the title.

Rape. You mean rape.

Distressed is not equal to sex. He took advantage of the situation.

Suspended WITH pay for a year and a half? So… basically paid a year and a half salary for rape. Cool.

Ya know what? You should do the sexual abuse seminar teachers are required to complete. It will teach you about age of consent and positions of power. This was rape. Here’s the upshot:

Unbelievable!! JustinTrudeau he just gets to resign for RAPE?! while you lock up truckers for bouncy castles and cleaning and feeding the streets !! I CANNOT wait for YOUR karma

It’s called tape. Get it together

Sounds like rape to me.

Grown police officer rapes teen in distress. Fixed it for you. Please don’t soften these stories. The charge was likely dropped because they didn’t want to “ruin his reputation”

I think you mean: Resigned Ottawa police officer used his position of authority and power to exploit and rape vulnerable teen. And JFYI , sexual grooming/exploitation of a vulnerable teen = nonconsensual sex = rape. Do better!

Let's go we want charges brought against this pedophile.. the freedom convoy got more harassment then this pedophile police officer

The word you are looking for is rape. The punishment you should be demanding is life in prison. Enough is enough.

From the article it looks like abuse of power but not rape. However, this is a terrible look for the police force. Just awful. 🥴

Looks like she was 19 .. so not statutory rape. Still very wrong..especially for a cop to do though.

Misleading headline. This is rape.

This is is called rape

Rape, he raped her.

That’s a lot of words to say “a cop raped a victim”

hi, is there a reason you took the editorial decision not to use the term 'raped' here? cause it makes you look pretty disgusting

rhonda_harbison Had sex ? This is not two consenting adults, who met and decided to have sex it's called rape, She was in his care wtf

'Ottawa police officer resigns instead of being charged with rape of a minor.' There. Fixed it for you.

Rape of minor!!!!!

Fix your headline! This is RAPE. You are part of the problem!

bobittyboop The corrrct headline would read: While on duty a Ottawa officer sexually assaulted a minor.

Also known as RAPE…. Do better CBC…. FFS 🤦🏼‍♂️

lawandchocolate That’s why they call them pigs!

You mean sexual assault?

She was RAPED!

You mean rape. The word you are looking for is rape. A cop was allowed to step down after raping a teen. It's rape

Please call a spade a spade. Softening the language you use does nothing but minimize the trauma of an underage teen. Do better.

And this is why we need to defundthecbc - rape is not sex. You can’t even get the headline right.

Nice try diminishing what this is. Replace “had sex” with “rape.”

'Had sex?' Raped

it's called rape, cop and rape apologizer

He didn’t have sex with her HE RAPED HER

This is rape 100%. You cowards.

'Soft on rape'

Laura_Dudas is there any mechanism to get the money back from when he was put on paid leave?
