The Ottawa Police Services Board has settled a civil lawsuit against an officer accused of invading the privacy of a family grieving the loss of an infant by trying to find out if the baby’s mother had been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Detective Helen Grus was accused of accessing the child’s records for no investigative purpose.
The lawyer for the family, Lawrence Greenspon, said the case was settled outside of court.
“We made a claim, which they just recently settled with us without the necessity of going to a Statement of Claim or starting a formal civil action,” he told The Epoch Times.
Ms. Grus is a detective with the Ottawa Police Service’s (OPS) sexual assault and child abuse unit, which is mandated to investigate child abuse and neglect.
Mr. Greenspon said the family wanted to remain anonymous.
