Two Additional Charges In Sex Assault Case

I'm still in shock about the age of the accused in our area's sexual assault cases. It added to that shock when I learned that he now faces two additional charges.

Councillor Responds To Sexual Assaults

The recent string of sexual assaults in our neighbourhood is alarming and sobering. It's taking awhile to catch the person responsible, so I think it's great that local Councillor Mike Layton has issued a response to the issue.
His safety suggestions include keeping porch lights on after dark and reporting burnt-out street lights.

Walk in Support of the Women of Christie Pits

As I mentioned -- and as is splashed all over the media -- the sex assaults in The Annex/Seaton Village/Christie Pits area continue; there's was a rash of them during the weekend.
Another walk has been planned in support of the women of Christie Pits. It will begin this evening at 8 pm at the south end of the park at Christie and Bloor.

PS Seems the walk was well-attended. Let's hope we don't need more of them.

Sadly, the sexual assaults in our area continue apace. Three were reported this weekend.
It's getting most unnerving.

Women: Be Alert

It's official: police have issued an alert about a man who is sexually assaulting young women in The Annex and Kensington Market.
Six women have been "grabbed and groped" this summer by someone who approaches them from behind, at night.
Police fear the attacks might get worse.
Be vigilant, be safe.
