David Kukoly, a former police officer in Niagara, has admitted to sexually abusing 11 women at his on-the-side “massage business” and has been sentenced to 18 months on house arrest.
54-year-old David Kukoly has pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual assault.
Following a statement of facts, the former cop admitted to similar abuse against six more victims.
He was sentenced recently at the Ontario Court of Justice in St. Catharines.
Kukoly was not a registered massage therapist but operated his “Massage by Dave” business from his Port Colborne home under a different last name.
During his sentencing, Justice Richard Blouin wrote: “Under the premise of providing massages, he inappropriately touched 11 women without their consent between 2016 and 2018.”
The judge described the assaults as “harrowing” and in a “closed, isolated room” with “a significant impact on the psychological health” of victims. However, Bloun decided against the Crown’s request for a four-year prison sentence and instead ordered a year and a half of house arrest was appropriate and said: “Given his long record of service to the community as a police officer for over 28 years, and because he stepped up to the plate and pleaded guilty. His admission of guilt avoided a trial and victims having to relive his crimes in court.”
