Another officer with Southern Georgian Bay OPP detachment has been charged with sexual assault this week.
The province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says Sgt. Blake Hamilton has been charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of breach of trust.
According to the SIU, the alleged offences occurred in December 2025 against a woman in Tay Township, and that it was made aware of the allegations by the OPP on Feb. 24, 2026.
Hamilton was arrested at SIU headquarters on Tuesday and released on several conditions, including an order not to communicate directly or indirectly with the alleged victim.
The charges come one day after another Southern Georgian Bay OPP officer, Const. Zahid Javid, was charged with three counts of sexual assault and three counts of breach of trust.
The SIU said those allegations involve three women and date back between August 2024 and October 2025.
It said the investigation began after the OPP notified the SIU in February of this year about an allegation involving sexual assault by an officer against a woman. During the investigation, the SIU said it uncovered separate allegations involving two additional women.
Both accused are to appear in court in Midland on Sept. 10, 2026.
None of the allegations against either officer have been proven in court.
