Months after a scandal rocked the St. Michael’s College School over alleged sexual assault, Toronto police said they are continuing to investigate the video distribution of the original incident.
“Despite the various warnings, we have credible evidence to suggest that people are still in possession of this video and/or have made attempts to upload it on social media,” said Insp. Domenic Sinopoli, the head of Toronto police sex crimes unit, at a press conference Wednesday.
He said police consider the video to be child pornography and altering or cropping it does not change its digital identifiers. The video, which captures parts of the alleged sexual assault that took place in a locker-room on Nov. 7, shows a group of boys holding down a teen boy and allegedly sexually assaulting him with an object that looks like a broomstick.
Sinopoli warned the public that whoever is making these sharing attempts will be caught and charged.
“The video and its distribution is a constant reminder to victims of the trauma they have endured,” he said at the conference. “In many ways, this can be far more detrimental than the assault itself.” (more...)
