Const. Bridget Morla faces two counts of sexual assault following a two-year investigation by Alberta's police watchdog.

  • Const. Bridget Morla, a 13-year veteran of the Leduc RCMP, has been charged with two counts of sexual assault involving two male victims.
  • The alleged assaults occurred in an Airdrie hotel room on December 3, 2022, during a social gathering while Morla was off-duty.
  • The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) conducted a two-year investigation into the allegations, which led to charges being announced on December 2, 2024.
  • Morla has been suspended with pay since December 2022, when the investigation began, and has been released from custody pending her court appearance next week.
  • ASIRT forwarded its findings to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service, which determined the case met the standard for prosecution.
