A retired Manitoba RCMP officer has been convicted of sexually assaulting a nine-year-old girl during a camping weekend in 2014.
Robert Dowd was first convicted of assaulting the girl following a trial in 2017. That conviction was overturned and a new trial was ordered, after the Manitoba Court of Appeal ruled last year the original sentencing judge erred in assessing Dowd’s credibility.
In a decision delivered Tuesday, provincial court Judge Keith Eyrikson said he had serious concerns about Dowd’s credibility at trial: Enough that I cannot rely on his evidence where it differs from that of (the victim).
