A CSIS officer’s allegation that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles set off a harassment inquiry, but also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a “misuse” of agency vehicles by the woman.

She is the same officer whose sexual assault allegations in a story published by The Canadian Press prompted public pledges of reform last year from David Vigneault, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

The officer said she was never told she was the subject of an investigation, or that it concluded she committed misconduct by using “service equipment” to conduct what the investigator’s report said was a “romantic relationship with a colleague.”

The woman said she believed the investigation was reprisal for her rape complaint, and she only found out about the probe this year, 10 months after its conclusion, when she made an access-to-information request for her personal information held by the service.

    Absolutely disgusting. Shame on CSIS. Our law enforcement/intelligent agencies seem as likely to commit actions that are harmful to society as they are to investigate them

      Actually they’re far more likely to commit crimes than they are to stop them. There’s so many examples of them saying “we knew we just chose not to act” on horrific acts of violence, and well-document cases of them taking normal average day people (particularly muslims) and grooming them into doing acts of terrorism so they can justify the existence of their deeply fascist institution.
