Allegations of sexual assault by a senior South Australian police officer have been made under parliamentary privilege.
Mr Pangallo told parliament Mr Burns, who is running for president of the PASA, was demoted from chief inspector to senior sergeant in 2017."In the interest of the openness and transparency Mr Burns demands and for PASA's membership currently deciding who will get their vote, I will summarise the worst-kept secret in SAPOL," Mr Pangallo said.
"The accusations levelled against him included predatory behaviour and alleged sexual assault of a then-civilian female SAPOL employee witnessed by several people in attendance. In parliament, Mr Pangallo questioned Police Minister Dan Cregan as to why Mr Burns was not criminally charged or sacked, and why the matter was not referred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption .
