## Resource

An RCMP officer, Bridget Morla, received a conditional discharge and 18 months probation after pleading guilty to assaulting two teenage boys during an off-duty hockey tournament in Airdrie. The incident, involving inappropriate touching in a hotel room, was downgraded from sexual assault to common assault. Despite her clean record and deep remorse, Morla faces suspension without pay and a disciplinary hearing with the RCMP. The judge called the act “out-of-character and bizarre” and emphasized her low risk of reoffending. Both prosecution and defense agreed a plea deal was best for the victims’ well-being and spared them trial trauma. Morla, a mother of three, has also endured intense online backlash and is committed to moving forward from this painful chapter.
