Victoria, B.C. (Canadian Press) - A B.C. Mountie who had sex on the job and used his uniform to draw dates will have to resign, an RCMP adjudication board decided Wednesday.

Const. Trent Richards admitted to having sex with women on at least 15 occasions while on duty at the rural detachment in Shawnigan Lake, B.C., on Vancouver Island.

Richards, 34, posted his profile on Internet dating sites offering “sex with a hot cop” and posted a photo of himself in his red serge dress uniform on one site.

RCMP accused Richards of using force computers to pursue his extra-curricular activities.

Richards has been suspended with pay since January 2007.

The adjudication board decided Richards must resign within two weeks or be dismissed for “repeated on-duty sexual activity, as well as repeated misuse of RCMP information technology.”

He has 14 days to appeal the decision to the RCMP commissioner and the force declined to comment until the appeal period has lapsed.
