市政当局否认一名前哈利法克斯地区警察在1990年代初对一名十几岁的女孩进行了性侵犯，但后来承认同一个人后来向警察抱怨育儿的警官。
作为哈利法克斯审查员reported in January, a plaintiff using the pseudonym X.Y. is suing the municipality and the federal government, alleging she was sexually assaulted by two police officers as a girl in the 1990s.
这两个人之一是皇家骑警官员万豪。In May, the federal government filed notice of defence否认对他的主张，并进一步断言，如果他对X.Y.进行了性侵犯，“万豪酒店在他担任加拿大皇家骑警的雇用官员的职责范围之外，并充当私人公民。”
该案中命名的第二名军官是康斯特。布莱恩·约翰斯顿（Brian Johnston），前达特茅斯警察局，然后是哈利法克斯地区警察。审查员报告后，约翰斯顿stepped aside from his ministerial duties as a preacher at Zion Baptist Church in Truro。

X.Y.的行动通知指责约翰斯顿（Johnston）是一个居住在沙利文之家（Sullivan House）的13岁女孩时，首次袭击了她，这是一个省级的“安全屋”，适合12岁或以上的孩子，“积极参与性剥削”。据称，第一次事件发生在货车中，而X.Y.正在寻找一个失踪的居民。
“Once the Plaintiff was seated in the van, Cst. Johnston forced the Plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, threatening her arrest and subsequent eviction from Sullivan House if she did not comply. Fearing that Cst. Johnston would follow through with his threats, the Plaintiff complied with his demands and performed oral sex on him,” X.Y.’s lawyer, Michael Dull, wrote in the notice of action.
X.Y.约翰斯顿后来在2006年浸渍了她：
原告与女儿的构想发生在CST期间。约翰斯顿值班。怀孕是CST建立的持续关系的直接结果。约翰斯顿大约十三岁的时候就和原告一起。
CST。约翰斯顿对原告的怀孕不满意，并指示她要么堕胎或怀孕，并在出生后放弃婴儿收养。
The Plaintiff decided to keep the baby. Cst. Johnston instructed her not to identify him as the father on any documents and contacted government agencies to explain it was in the best interests of the mother and child that the father not be identified on any documentation.
HRM律师卡伦·麦克唐纳（Karen MacDonald）周二在新斯科舍省最高法院提交了辩护通知，否认了X.Y.的指控。
“If Johnston engaged in the actions alleged in […] the Statement of Claim (which is not admitted), HRM states that at all material times Johnston was not acting in the performance of his duties and HRM is not liable for Johnston’s actions,” MacDonald wrote.
麦克唐纳写了X.Y.2009年11月向HRP抱怨，“以专业标准向调查人员发表了面对面的声明。”
“原告告诉人力资源专业标准有关与约翰斯顿的接触，包括：（a）她和约翰斯顿的性关系于2005年12月开始，（b）她被约翰斯顿怀孕，并于2006年生了一个孩子，以及（c）约翰斯顿拒绝正式承认他对孩子的亲戚，并拒绝支付子女抚养费。”麦克唐纳写道。
According to MacDonald, X.Y. didn’t tell police about the allegations from when she was at Sullivan House.
“人力资源专业标准的官员告诉原告，她可以根据《警察法》提出正式投诉。原告拒绝签署文书工作，以发起警察法案的投诉，并告知警官她将通过家庭法院提起此事，”麦克唐纳写道。
“原告在2009年11月下旬以书面形式告知原告，除非她再次与调查官联系，否则HRP调查档案将关闭她对约翰斯顿的投诉。原告没有与人力资源管理调查官取得进一步的联系。”
Johnston retired soon after, in early 2010.
“HRM states that the facts as pleaded in the Plaintiff’s Statement of Claim are insufficient to sustain a cause of action for misfeasance in public office, intimidation, intentional infliction of mental suffering, breach of fiduciary duty, or negligence,” MacDonald wrote.
“HRM denies that it is vicariously liable to the Plaintiff for the alleged acts or omissions of Johnston.
“此外，人力资源管理局指出，如果约翰斯顿的行动构成公职，恐吓，故意造成精神痛苦，违反信托义务，疏忽，殴打或性殴打的行为，但在所有物质时代都没有被承认，约翰斯顿在所有物质上都没有承认。担任HRP或达特茅斯警察局雇员的职责范围之外。”
除了X.Y.对性电池的指控外，麦克唐纳认为这些说法“不在适用的限制期内，因此被禁止。”
“As to the whole of the Statement of Claim, HRM denies that the Plaintiff suffered any injury, loss or damage as a result of any negligence or other wrongdoing on the part of HRM, its agents or employees, and puts the Plaintiff to the strict proof to the contrary,” MacDonald wrote.
“人力资源管理局指出，原告要求的任何伤害，状况，损失或损害（未被录取但被拒绝）是由其他来源或事件造成或造成的，包括但不限于原告先前存在的健康历史。”
MacDonald asked the court to dismiss X.Y.’s claim with costs.
