## Resource

An RCMP officer, Bridget Morla, pleaded guilty to common assault after inappropriately touching two teenage boys in a hotel room while off-duty — a shocking violation of trust that has rocked the force. Despite her stellar service record and heartfelt apology, she received a conditional discharge with 18 months probation and mandatory substance abuse counseling, sparing her from a criminal record — a decision praised by prosecutors for sparing the teens a trial. Morla, suspended without pay, faces internal disciplinary action and continues to grapple with public backlash, as victims focused more on the betrayal of authority than physical harm. The judge called her actions “bizarre” and out-of-character, while acknowledging the gravity of the incident and the need for accountability.
