Some Conservative MPs are asking the federal government to suspend the mandatory hotel quarantine policy in the wake of two reports of sexual violence.
Montreal police have arrested a Windsor, Ont. man alleged to have assaulted a woman at a quarantine hotel in Dorval, Que.
The woman in question told La Presse that a fellow traveller forced his way into her hotel room, grabbed her and then started to undress while grabbing his genitals. She said security guards were slow to respond to her calls for help.
Robert Shakory was arrested by Montreal police and now faces charges of sexual assault, breaking and entering and criminal harassment, the newspaper reported.
Meanwhile, a Hamilton, Ont. man hired and trained by Canada's federal public health agency to work as a security guard has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman during a quarantine check this month.
Halton Region Police say the man, whose full name is Hemant, went to an Oakville, Ont. home on Feb. 18 to carry out a quarantine compliance check, demanded money for a bogus fine and then sexually assaulted a woman after she refused to pay. (more...)
