The complainant in a professional misconduct case involving a London police officer accused of meddling in a criminal probe involving the woman, and trying to arrange her arrest, says she’s opposed to a proposed plea deal that would dock the officer six days’ pay.

A five-day trial is set to begin Monday for Const. Steve Williams, 43, who is charged with neglect of duty and two counts of discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act, the law governing policing in Ontario under which departments hold disciplinary hearings into allegations of professional misconduct.

But the lawyers involved in the case have reached a proposed plea deal, under which Williams would forfeit 70 hours of pay in exchange for pleading guilty to the three charges, the complainant, Andrea Agora, told The Free Press.

“This is ridiculous. I want it to go to trial, honestly,” Agora said.

Agora blasted the proposed deal as a slap on the wrist for what she called a “targeted attack” that could have cost her custody of her six-year-old daughter.
