EDMONTON, CANADA – A female city police officer is being investigated after a pornographic video and a screen saver saying “I t Gay Porn” was downloaded onto a man’s computer during a police raid.
The officer is identified as Const. Christa Pennie.
Both the victim, Sean David Critch, 24, and his defence lawyer, Chady Moustarah, are horrified at what they describe as a “disgusting” abuse of police powers.

The judge of an inquiry into the drowning of a Ugandan refugee fleeing from Edmonton police has ruled against the family’s attempt to adjourn the proceedings so they could bring in a lawyer.
Officers chased Charles Wula, 38, from his wife’s apartment to the North Saskatchewan River on July 27, 2005. His body was found a week later.
A three-day fatality inquiry into his death is being held in an Edmonton provincial court and will wrap up Friday.
