Cpl Alain Boulianne Charged with Sex with Minor

A Codiac Regional Police officer who has been suspended with pay since early last fall was charged in provincial court yesterday with sexual interference with a minor.

Cpl. Alain Boulianne was not in court but his lawyer, James Letcher, elected on his behalf to be tried in provincial court. A preliminary hearing was set for Aug. 18.

A judge from outside this region will hear the case.

Bouliane has most recently led Codiac's traffic division.

Codiac officials said late last year that an officer had been suspended with pay after allegations of a sexual nature were made against him by a teenaged girl. Letcher has said the charges will be vigorously defended and that his client was anxious to get to court.

The case was investigated by the Saint John Police Force.
