Former Durham police officer faces new sex assault charge in 2nd case: SIU
Earlier this year, the SIU charged the officer with multiple criminal offences after a sex assault investigation dating back more than two decades was reopened.
Kevin Seamons, a former Durham regional police officer, faces new allegations of sexual assault in a second case, according to Ontario's police watchdog. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) announced on Thursday that Seamons has been charged with sexual assault related to alleged conduct between May 1999 and December 2009. The charges follow the SIU's investigation into the case, which began in 2024 and identified the victim.
Earlier this year, the SIU accused Seamons of multiple criminal offences after a dormant sex assault investigation was reopened. In May 2026, SIU director Joseph Martino said he had reasonable grounds to believe Seamons committed a series of offences against a woman in connection with a 2003 investigation. Seamons was arrested on May 20 by the RCMP in Morinville, Alberta, following a Canada-wide warrant.
He was released on May 21 on conditions including a prohibition on contacting the complainant. Seamons' next court appearance is scheduled for August 28 at the Ontario court of justice.
