Perverted Canadian cops

Incidents initially whitewashed

BC Mounties are once again in damage control after graphic images of an officer engaged in violent bondage sex scenes were made public.

"I am personally embarrassed and very disappointed that the RCMP would be, in any way, linked to photos of that nature," BC's acting RCMP commander Randy Beck said in a statement Thursday, adding Mounties are conducting a code-of-conduct investigation.

Beck was responding to explosive photos allegedly showing Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jim Brown in various bondage scenes that were at one point posted on the Internet but since removed.

Some of those images obtained by QMI Agency depict a woman tied up, choked and slashed with a machete by a man identified as Brown, who apparently styled himself as the "Kilted Knight." The scenes often appeared to involve simulated torture, with Brown in a dominant position.

Former RCMP consultant Dr. Mike Webster, speaking from his Denman Island, BC, office Thursday, said he'd heard from at least two Mounties who knew about the racy pictures from a website Brown apparently ran nearly two years ago.

"(In one) series of picture, he comes upon a woman on the street. He stalks her, he captures her, he takes her somewhere, it's a private location, he wraps her in cellophane ... he puts his feet on her, he cuts her, she bleeds," Webster said.

The psychologist, who worked with BC Mounties for more than 30 years, said the latest scandal is another severe blow to a force plagued by misconduct complaints in recent months - everything from allegations of sexual harassment to an officer accused of stealing cocaine.

Beck, meantime, explained the Coquitlam detachment commander found the images in December 2010 on a personal flash drive, but the pictures didn't initially meet the "threshold" to be considered a violation of conduct - the images were deemed staged.

It wasn't until March this year that a "code of conduct" investigation was opened when the photos were found on a personal website.

After the images went public Thursday, Beck said an "external" police agency would be asked to independently review the Mounties' code-of-conduct investigation.

Brown has been placed on administrative duties.
The officer had "a very small role" in the investigation of convicted serial killer Robert Pickton, according to the Missing Women Inquiry commissioner Wally Oppal.

"I have instructed commission counsel to gather more information regarding the RCMP investigation into the situation ... with the Department of Justice on this matter," he said in a statement.
