Intimate partner violence leads to conviction of Prince George man

PRINCE GEORGE — A Prince George man has been convicted in relation to a case of intimate partner violence.

Prince George RCMP say that 47-year-old Ryan Timothy Chiappe pled guilty to two counts of assault causing bodily harm and one count of assault this past April.

The investigation began in the fall of 2024 after one victim associated to Mr. Chiappe came forward to police with information pertaining to intimate partner violence. With the cooperation of those involved, a thorough investigation was conducted by the Prince George Serious Crimes Unit, which ultimately led to a conviction. 

“Intimate partner abuse can take many forms and can have devastating impacts on victims. We want to remind the public that there is help available and there are many avenues to report intimate partner violence. While highlighting the courage it takes to report domestic abuse, this case had a positive outcome with respect to holding the offender accountable,” says Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
