Acting Police Commissioner Ian Stewart today acknowledged the sentencing of a former police officer on multiple assault charges.

Acting Commissioner Stewart said that while it was a difficult chapter in Queensland Police history, the QPS handling of the matter proved that there was no place in the QPS for such conduct. He said there was clear public interest in the release of the vision.

"As soon as this matter came to light the QPS acted swiftly to not only remove the then officer from duty, but to fully investigate the assaults and lay criminal charges," Acting Commissioner Stewart said.

"Disciplinary matters are ongoing in relation to other officers stationed at the Whitsundays at the time of the assaults.

"Five officers have resigned since the investigation commenced.

"The junior officer who reported the matter has been fully supported by the Service.

"Behaviour of the sort seen in this sorry case is not tolerated in the QPS, and officers have a clear obligation to behave professionally, ethically and with the highest integrity.

"Again, let me express our apologies to both the victims of the assaults, and to the general public.

"It is deeply regrettable this officer did not live up to the high standards we set for ourselves," Acting Commissioner Stewart said.

  • It's sickening but at least you must acknowledge the integrity of the commissioner for pointing out the injustice. Something they won't do in America. That cop would still be employed with no jail time in America. Probably would have been commended.

  • cant belive this happend in australia

  • A disgrace to law enforcement.

  • feel sorry for the girl :-(

  • nice things happen to nice people, best of luck in jail Mr Price.

  • Well done Australia. That man would have gotten away scott free here in America. You guys rule :D

  • @ksalbrecht88 no, you just are just a crazy extremist

  • @ksalbrecht88 You still have to put someone through a trial unless you catch them in the act. There have been plenty of people falsely imprisoned for things they didn't do. How would it be if someone was killed for a sexual abuse crime that they didn't commit, just because 'they should be put to death'? I don't have compassion for criminals, but I do understand that things aren't always as they seem. The criminal justice system isn't painstaking for shits and giggles.

  • Justice served, end of story.

  • what did he do??!?!?!?!?
