Russia has refused to return to Canada a former diplomat who has been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting two young men, says a spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Ottawa.

"There is no current plan to send Valery Fomin to Canada so he can face the charges against him," said Alexander Repkin, adding that the diplomat's security will be in danger if he is returned to Canada.

Fomin, 53, was charged June 9 with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of causing a person to take a stupefying drug, reports Ottawa's Le Droit newspaper.

The assaults allegedly happened in Fomin's apartment last February after he met the men at a casino across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Que.
