Edmonton photo radar operator charged with sexual assault

EDMONTON- A 50-year-old photo radar operator is to appear in court tomorrow on charges of kidnapping and sexual assault.

A woman told police she was pulled over by a man who impersonated a peace officer and told her he wouldn’t proceed with charges if she performed sex acts on him.

The woman alleged she was driven to another area and sexually assaulted before being driven home.

Police say the accused, Paul David Derksen, was contracted by the city to supervise automated enforcement such as photo radar and wears a uniform as party of his job.
