Trial began yesterday in Brandon for a police officer accused of distributing sexually explicit photos and videos of a woman that he was having an affair with.
The officer was charged last year with two counts of publication of an intimate image without consent.
Due to a publication ban on the case, the names of the officer and woman are being withheld.
On Monday, Manitoba's provincial court heard that the images and videos stemmed from the officer's romantic relationship with the female in 2016.
The pair met through volunteer work, and their friendship quickly became a sexual relationship, which involved exchanging photos and videos through WhatsApp, a messaging platform.
The woman said she and the officer agreed to delete any photos or videos of each other after they decided to close the door on their relationship.
The woman told the court that she didn't give the officer permission to share the photos and videos with others.
Today, the trial is expected to hear from the woman who first discovered the photos on her then boyfriend's email account.
The case is expected to wrap up tomorrow.
