SURREY, B.C. — The Crown says a former Vancouver police detective constable has pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation and breach of trust charges.
Crown prosecutor Winston Sayson says James Fisher pleaded guilty to three charges in Surrey provincial court on Wednesday.
Fisher was still on active duty in December 2016 when he was charged with a number of counts including sexual assault, sexual exploitation and obstruction of justice.
Sayson says Fisher pleaded guilty to three of the charges, including breach of trust for kissing a young person for a sexual purpose and a breach of trust for kissing another complainant.
He also pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation involving the young person, which Sayson says has a mandatory minimum sentence of 90 days in jail.
Sayson says the Crown is not pursuing the other charges facing Fisher as a result of new information, and sentencing is scheduled for June 29.
Fisher was a 29-year veteran of the Vancouver police department and a member of the force's counter exploitation team, which investigates prostitution and criminal exploitation.
