Former OPP officer faces several years in prison

The Crown says a former OPP officer who sexually molested boys for most of  his policing career deserves 10 to 12 years behind bars.

The prosecutor in an Orangeville court said Robert Lewis has never admitted guilt, expressed remorse or taken responsibility for his actions.

Lewis is a former OPP officer who served in Minaki and Whitedog in the 70's.

Court heard that the now 63-year-old man used his position for more than 25 years to molest the boys, even in his police cruiser, while in uniform.

The defence is arguing for a term of five to seven years.
