A woman has accused a Victoria police officer of grooming and extorting her with threats to post her sex videos online if she spoke out about their relationship.

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner confirmed on Thursday that the woman’s allegations are connected to an investigation that led to a VicPD officer being suspended on Dec. 12.

In a TikTok video posted last month, the young woman recounts the alleged extortion, how she first met the officer when she was a minor and said VicPD ignored her multiple reports about the officer and sexual assault.
