Former Durham police officer faces new sex assault charge in 2nd case: SIU

Kevin Seamons, a former Durham regional police officer, faces a new sexual assault charge in connection with a separate incident from the 1990s, according to Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Seamons is already facing sexual assault charges related to a decades-old investigation. The SIU announced last Thursday that Seamons has been charged with sexual assault due to alleged misconduct between May 1999 and December 2009.

The charges stem from an SIU investigation launched in 2024 after a woman came forward with new information. In 2023, Seamons was charged with multiple criminal offenses after a reopened sex assault investigation dating back over two decades. He was arrested on May 20, 2026, by the RCMP in Morinville, Alberta, following a Canada-wide warrant.

Seamons was subsequently released on conditions that prohibit him from contacting the complainant. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 28 at the Ontario court of justice.
