A CSIS officer’s allegation that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles set off a harassment inquiry, but also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a “misuse” of agency vehicles by the woman.

She is the same officer whose sexual assault allegations in a story published by The Canadian Press prompted public pledges of reform last year from David Vigneault, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

The officer said she was never told she was the subject of an investigation, or that it concluded she committed misconduct by using “service equipment” to conduct what the investigator’s report said was a “romantic relationship with a colleague.”

The woman said she believed the investigation was reprisal for her rape complaint, and she only found out about the probe this year, 10 months after its conclusion, when she made an access-to-information request for her personal information held by the service.

    There’s always a chance she’s a “good apple” that just hasn’t washed out yet but otherwise the answer is probably yes.

      The full saying is “a few bad apples will spoil the bunch.” Because if you toss a rotting apple into a barrel of good apples, the off-gassing from the rotting apple will quickly rot the good ones. You’ll quickly end up with an entire barrel of bad apples, due to adding one bad apple to the barrel.

      Even “good” cops will quickly turn rotten, because they’ll be forced into covering for the “bad” cops. Because if they don’t cover for the bad cops, they get forced out.

      Thus, all cops are bastards. Because if someone is a cop, they’re either a bad cop or covering for bad cops (and are thus, a bad cop themselves.)

        Right, meaning she’s a bastard, or is new enough in her career that she just hasn’t quit yet.
