REGINA — A judge has reserved her sentencing decision for a former Regina police officer who abused his position of authority to pursue romantic relationships with women while using a false identity.
Judge Marilyn Beaton told a Regina courtroom she needs more time to analyze lawyers’ arguments and victim impact statements.
Robert Semenchuk, a former sergeant, pleaded guilty last year to breaching trust and using a computer for unauthorized purposes.
Court heard the 22-year member of the force used a police computer system over eight years to contact women.
An agreed statement of facts say he would reach out the women using a fake name while pretending he didn’t know who they were.
A sentencing decision is expected on Feb. 6.
