Former Durham Region police officer facing sex assault charges dating back to 2003
Written by The Canadian Press on May 21, 2026
Ontario’s police watchdog says a former Durham Region police officer is facing a slew of sexual assault charges related to alleged incidents dating back more than two decades.
The Special Investigations Unit says the alleged offences took place in 2003 and the agency investigated them at the time, but then reopened the case in 2024 after the complainant, a woman, came forward with new information.
The SIU says a Canada-wide warrant was issued for Kevin Seamons and the former officer was arrested by the Mounties in Alberta on Wednesday night.
It says he has since been released under several conditions, including a ban on communicating with the complainant, and is due in court in Oshawa on June 5.
Seamons is charged with six counts of sexual assault, one of sexual assault with a weapon, seven of sexual exploitation, six of breach of trust and one each of assault with a weapon and pointing a firearm.
The SIU says it will not release further information as the case is now before the courts.
