On a more serious note this a.m., police have arrested a man in connection with a sexual assault in our area.
I'm telling you because "police believe there may be more victims."
Please read the news release, which includes a picture, and spread the word.

Sexual Assault Suspect Apprehended
I haven't mentioned the string of sexual assaults taking place in the College and Spadina vicinity. But there was an alleged sexual assault in our area Friday night, so perhaps it's just best to let women know to be on guard, even though there probably is no correlation between them.
Police have arrested a suspect in Friday night's incident.
Let's hope that's the end of that.

Sexual Assault Prevention Tips
I first saw this awhile ago and thought it was brilliant. When it popped up again in a Facebook posting, I realized that I should share it with you.
No doubt it's gone viral and for good reason: it's the first of its kind that I've read that puts responsibility where it belongs.
