After the OPP started secretly monitoring the phone calls and text messages of one of their own officers, they found out Const. Luanne MacDonald had sent a photo to her boyfriend of a half-naked, intoxicated woman detained in a police cell block.

Her boyfriend also happened to be an OPP constable.

And that’s not all the OPP discovered about MacDonald, who worked at the Alexandria satellite office of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry detachment.

In March 2014, MacDonald got a call from a mother who reported her drunken boyfriend had sexually assaulted her 14-year-old daughter. MacDonald not only discouraged the concerned parent from filing a complaint, but she also tried to cover her tracks and lied about what she knew of the assault to an investigator.

The details of MacDonald’s on- and off-duty behaviour are revealed in an agreed statement of facts filed with the Ottawa courthouse after she pleaded guilty last week to obstruction of justice relating to her handling of the reported sexual assault.
