Disciplinary hearing for detective charged with insubordination in Bruce McArthur case begins
January 5, 2019
"The disciplinary hearing of a detective accused of failing to act in the case of serial killer Bruce McArthur began Tuesday with the officer’s lawyer challenging the independence of the tribunal and criticizing the police chief.
Sergeant Paul Gauthier of the Toronto Police Service is charged in connection with a 2016 incident in which police failed to follow up on a complaint that Mr. McArthur tried to strangle a man during a sexual encounter.....
Sgt. Gauthier was not present at the disciplinary hearing. His lawyer, Lawrence Gridin, told the tribunal about a Dec. 8, 2017, news conference at which Police Chief Mark Saunders heard concerns that a serial killer was preying on gay men.
“He denied there was any evidence” of a serial killer, Mr. Gridin said. “The information at the press conference was not correct. Mr. McArthur had been a suspect for a month.”...
Sgt. Gauthier was charged with insubordination and neglect of duty. Details of the allegations against him were not released because he was not present...
The name of the victim has not been made public. A friend said the man is of Middle Eastern origin and is now living in a country where it would not be safe to disclose his sexual orientation.
Sgt. Gauthier is a 20-year veteran of the Toronto Police Service. In a previous statement, Mr. Gridin said his client’s decision in 2016 was made “in conjunction” with a supervisor.
Sgt. Gauthier’s case was adjourned to Feb. 26...."

"The disciplinary charges a Toronto police officer will be facing in connection with a 2016 arrest of serial killer Bruce McArthur stem from neglecting to video record the victim’s statement and failing to take photographs of the injury within 72 hours of the event, CP24 has learned.
In a statement sent to CP24 on Tuesday evening, Sgt. Paul Gauthier’s lawyer said his client “denies that he did anything wrong.”
“It is alleged that Gauthier failed to comply with the Toronto Police Service’s internal domestic violence policy,” Lawrence Gridin said. “The charges specify that although he obtained a statement from the victim, Gauthier failed to video record it. Secondly, although the victim’s injury was documented, Gauthier failed to have photos taken 72 hours after the event as required by the policy.”..."
