MISSISSAUGA – The province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) won't be laying charges following an investigation into an allegation of sexual assault against a Wellington OPP officer.

The province's police watchdog opened an investigation on Jan. 29 after learning about the allegation from police.

Details were scant, with SIU spokesperson Kristy Denette previously telling the Advertiser the allegation "could potentially" involve an on-duty Wellington OPP officer and "may have occurred in Guelph."

Last month SIU director Joseph Martino determined no charges would be laid, and chose to withhold his report after speaking with the complainant in the case.
