A former Mountie convicted of fraud and harassment has been handed additional jail time after he failed to show up for an earlier sentencing, court records show.

The move concludes legal proceedings against Aaron Lee Sayler, a one-time Stony Plain RCMP member who resigned after an investigation by Alberta’s police watchdog.

Obstruction of justice charges against the ex-officer’s wife have also been withdrawn.

Sayler was convicted of 10 offences after a provincial court trial in Stony Plain, including harassment, fraud and mischief to property.

During the trial, court heard testimony from four women with whom Sayler had been romantically involved — sometimes at the same time without their knowledge.

Court heard he forged a woman’s signature to get RCMP relocation benefits to which he was not entitled, engaged in insurance fraud and stalked and harassed women with whom he had had relationships. On three occasions, he egged a woman’s house with eggs covered in glitter glue.
