If Crown prosecutors have their way, an Edmonton police officer who used his job to pursue vulnerable women for sex will serve time behind bars. The defence, on the other hand, says it would be wrong to imprison a man whose misbehaviour can be attributed, in part, to post-traumatic stress stemming from his military service […]
An Edmonton Crown prosecutor is seeking a two-to-three-year prison sentence for police officer Robinz, who pleaded guilty to breach of trust in October 2024 for soliciting sex from vulnerable women he met through his job. The defense argues for a more lenient sentence, citing Robinz's post-traumatic stress from military service. The charges stemmed from incidents where Robinz pursued sexual relationships with women he met on duty, including one who was a victim of domestic violence, which impacted a sexual assault investigation. The Crown argues imprisonment is necessary to denounce Robinz's actions, provide psychiatric care, and prevent him from holding positions of trust in the future.
