A York Regional Police officer has been convicted of sexually assaulting a woman during a traffic stop in Richmond Hill.

Const. Young Min Von Seefried, 33, was convicted of one count of sexual assault on Thursday. He has not yet been sentenced.

The charge stems from a Jan. 4, 2015 traffic stop when the officer pulled over a 21-year-old woman. The victim filed a complaint with Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which resulted in a criminal charge laid in June of 2015.

"It is extremely disappointing to have one of our officers charged and convicted criminally," said York Regional Police Chief Eric Jolliffe in a news release.

"It is by no means a reflection on the hard-working men and women of York Regional Police."

Von Seefried has been with the police force since 2006.

He will continue to be suspended with pay until the court proceedings are concluded, the police force said. Von Seefried is also being investigated by the force's Professional Standards Bureau.
