London Police Services Board investigates 40% of uncharged 2023 sexual assault cases, queries program operations & criticizes high-profile hockey investigation handling.

The London Police Services Board has asked the force to explain why 40% of sexual assault reports from 2023 did not lead to charges. The board also asked for further details on the operations of the Violence Against Women Advocate Case Review Program, which reviews cases that did not result in charges to make sure they are not inappropriately closed. This request for an explanation comes during scrutiny of the London Police Service's handling of a high-profile sexual assault case involving former members of Canada's world junior hockey team.
