TRURO, N.S. — A year-long police investigation has resulted in 13 criminal charges against a former correctional officer whose alleged assaults of inmates at a Nova Scotia prison for women are also the subject of a civil lawsuit. Truro police say Brian Wilson faces six sexual assault charges, six charges of breach of trust and one charge of communication for the purpose of obtaining sexual services. They say Wilson has been brought before a justice of the peace and was released on conditions. Advertisement Emma Halpern, executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society for mainland Nova Scotia, called it “extremely important” that criminal charges have been laid.
