Charged with two counts of assault, the matter of London police Insp. Ryan Scrivens, 48, was dealt with in an Ottawa courtroom Friday morning via zoom.
London lawyer Lucas O'Hara appeared for Scrivens telling the court that he has asked for information from the Crown on the case saying, 'I have requested disclosure but haven't received any.'
O'Hara waived the reading of the charge in open court.
A ban on publication is put in place on identifying the complainant in the case along with witnesses.
Scrivens, a 25 year veteran, was charged after a reported incident in Ottawa on Family Day weekend in Februrary.
The case was adjourned for about 12 weeks and will be back in court on Sept. 12.
Scrivens has been suspended with pay and London police have launched an internal investigation looking into the matter.
