This is who Governor General Arbour wants women in the CAF to report sexual assault to.
Like Jerome ...
Ottawa Police Constable Jerome Rabiha-Stevens has pleaded guilty to four counts of misconduct under the Community Safety and Policing Act.
Between March 2024 and May 2025, he conducted 17 unauthorized queries on the MTO ISS and CPIC databases of individuals personally known to him, including his ex-partner’s parents, the woman with whom he was having an affair, and her ex-partner.
During the same period, he also carried out 49 unauthorized queries of members of the public with no connection to any police matter, many of them while off-duty or on leave, and some using his OPS-issued cellphone.
In addition, he repeatedly queried the licence plates of women he met or observed at the gym, using the databases to identify them, locate their social media accounts, and attempt to initiate personal contact.
On April 27, 2025, while on duty, in uniform, and operating a marked police cruiser, he confronted his domestic partner and another man in a Tim Hortons parking lot, manoeuvring his cruiser between their vehicles and causing damage to the man’s vehicle.
Cst. Rabiha-Stevens has been found guilty on all four counts — two of failing to comply with procedures established by the Chief of Police and two of undermining public trust — and has been demoted from First Class Constable to Second Class Constable for a period of 18 months. No termination, No criminal charges.
This case highlights two-tier policing. An ordinary person who looked up dozens of people’s personal information without permission, including an ex’s family, an affair partner, and women from the gym, while also using a vehicle to confront an ex and damage another car, would almost certainly face a criminal investigation. Yet this officer, who admitted he “became obsessed,” had no criminal charges laid against him at all. He only received an 18-month demotion and remains active on the job, still being paid with taxpayer money.
