Cameron Ortis, ex-RCMP official guilty of leaking secrets, sentenced to 14 years in prison

An Ontario Superior Court justice has sentenced Cameron Ortis — the former RCMP intelligence official found guilty late last year of leaking secret information to police targets — to 14 years in prison.

Accounting for his time served, the former civilian member will serve more than seven years behind bars.

The decision Wednesday marks a first in Canadian history.

Ortis, 51, was found guilty in November of all six charges against him, including violating Canada’s secrets act.
