A top city official facing assault charges was flagged almost a decade ago as a person with allegedly violent tendencies, CBC News has learned.
Marcel Marcellin’s former employer, the London police department, was told about abuse allegations concerning Marcellin but no formal charges were brought against the officer because the complainant was scared of retribution, court documents show.
Marcellin was reported to the police professional standards branch in 2009 but the former head of that department, Det. Insp. Kevin Heslop, says he doesn’t remember the investigation against the officer. Heslop is now retired.
Marcellin became an officer with the London police in 1995. He was promoted to sergeant in 2011 and in the same year became the department’s diversity officer.
He was with London police until his resignation in 2016. London police told CBC News they cannot comment on the matter.
