Documents reveal Sean Chu admitted to consensual sexual acts with teen girl while a Calgary police officer

CTV News has obtained internal documents that outline details of a sexual encounter incumbent Ward 4 Coun. Sean Chu had with a minor while he was a police officer with the city.
According to the transcript of a disciplinary hearing, it was alleged that "on or about Aug. 12, 1997, Const. Chu became intimately involved with the young person who was 16 years old at the time,” and she had met him, “while he was on duty, in uniform, and in a position of authority.”

He was 34 years old at the time and admitted to “caressing” the girl on the leg in a public restaurant while in uniform. And then while off-duty and not in uniform, he told the hearing he “participated in consensual sexual foreplay” with the girl in the living room of his home. “In fact, Const. Chu relayed intimate details as to the sexual extent of this personal contact,” according to the transcript.

In a statement to CTV News on Monday, Chu maintains he did not know the girl was underage saying, “in 1997 when I was 34 years old, I met a woman at a licensed establishment where all persons are required to be 18 years of age or older and show identification. A witness confirmed Mr. Chu’s account of the facts and an internal hearing found that her allegations were without merit.” However, information obtained by CTV News indicates that the girl was not at an 18-plus licensed establishment, but that she was at a restaurant called the Husky House and Chu was only there at the request of another officer to drive the girl home when he touched her leg. CTV News has learned that instead of dropping her off at her home, he took her to his home where the alleged sexual assault took place, and when Chu allegedly pulled out his Calgary Police Service handgun.

Furthermore, according to information obtained by CTV News, Chu had met the girl during an unrelated investigation when she was 14 years old, two years before the sexual encounter. The LERB documents from 1999 also show that the girl had been appealing the matter over the course of nine years. She had filed a complaint against the officers who investigated her allegations, claiming there was misconduct and a “general coverup.”

One of the complaints was that she agreed to a polygraph test but when she called two days before the scheduled date and time, it was canceled without reason and never rebooked by CPS. The decision in the document from 1999 indicates her complaints against the officers were dismissed.
