I do agree that I don't understand why he is still getting pay. Reduced perhaps, untill proven guilty, but full pay seems a little generous for someone facing charges of this magnitude.

If they don't pay him though I think he could be inline for a very large civil suit for defamation of character, wrongfull dismissal etc...You need to talk to a labour lawyer to get the full story. But until he is proven as guilty I suspect they can't discharge him from the RCMP and depending on their labour agreement it may not be possible to suspend someone from work without pay.
If he does indeed get proven guilty than I'm probably more concerned that a person like that managed to stay a member of the RCMP for the 21 years before he was suspended with pay.
