A six-year police officer with the Richmond RCMP has been charged with six criminal offences.
The 33-year-old constable was charged in provincial court Thursday after a “lengthy investigation,” police spokesman Cpl. Peter Thiessen said in a news release.
Kam Khamphoune, 33, faces charges of possessing stolen property under $5,000, possessing a firearm not registered to him, possessing prohibited ammunition, illegal storage of a firearm, tampering with evidence, and breach of trust.
The East Vancouver resident is also currently under investigation for alleged links to child pornography.
In 2004, a 15-year-old girl alleged the constable offered her money in exchange for sexual favours. He was cleared during a four-day hearing in front of a RCMP disciplinary board.
He is currently suspended with pay.
His next court appearance is scheduled for July 5.
