A former CFL player turned disgraced police officer has been charged by his own force with having sex while on-duty with multiple women in a series of discipline charges that will see the force wanting the badge of its one-time poster boy.

Const. Jason Mallett was hired by the Ottawa Police Service in 2005 and was featured often on recruitment posters and force promotional materials in attempts to highlight the service’s diversity and professionalism.

But Mallett’s poster-boy status didn’t last. He was charged criminally in 2014, which led to an ongoing suspension, then convicted of discipline charges in 2015 and now faces 15 fresh misconduct charges.

Mallett is charged with five counts of insubordination, four counts of deceit, three counts of neglect of duty, two counts of corrupt practice and one count of discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act.

The laundry list of new charges against Mallett stems from a series of incidents between 2013 to 2017, suggesting an alleged pattern of using the police service and police work for his own personal advantage, usually having to do with sex and women.
