Sentencing proceedings begin for former Red Deer Mountie convicted of breach of trust

Nov 26, 2019 | 2:39 PM

A Crown prosecutor says a former Red Deer Mountie found guilty of breach of trust brought disgrace upon the RCMP with his actions.

Photini Papadathou made the comments in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Tuesday as sentencing proceedings got underway for Jason Tress.

He was found guilty in September in relation to his interactions with a young woman while responding to a domestic dispute on May 1, 2016.
