A Campbellford OPP officer who lost his job for taking a cellphone sex video of his girlfriend without her consent and playing it for other officers could miss out on his first paycheque after being suspended for six years.

Starting Friday, Const. James Orser — who has been suspended with pay since June 2012 — could start losing salary a week after the Ontario Civilian Police Commission upheld his firing last Friday. OPP first-class officers start at $98,000 a year.

Last Friday, Orser lost his appeal and was ordered to either quit or be fired in seven days. Orser could possibly restart his suspension with pay status by appealing last week’s decision.

His veteran lawyer Harry Black, who was unavailable for comment, has 30 days to file an appeal.

Orser was first suspended with pay when he was charged with sexually assaulting two teenaged girls at his Campbellford home in July 2010.

In April 2015, Orser was acquitted of sexually assaulting the girls, then 18 and 14, as Justice Ted Minden found there were too many inconsistencies in the alleged victims’ accounts. Orser started as OPP Constable in January 2005.
