NewzThe Crown has dropped a charge against former Bridgewater Police Service deputy chief John Collyer regarding his failure to comply with the sex offender registry. The withdrawal of this charge follows Collyer’s 2020 conviction and 15-month jail sentence for sexually exploiting a 17-year-old girl while he served as a senior officer.
Collyer was originally sentenced in March 2020 after the exploitation case concluded. The recent decision to drop the registry-related charge marks a procedural development in the legal aftermath of his initial conviction.
