The media was first to tell the people of Toronto that three of its police officers had been arrested in Spain. Initially the reason for the arrests was unclear, but soon the details began trickling out: while vacationing in Barcelona last week, one of these men allegedly sexually assaulted a sex worker in a taxi while another physically assaulted her after she refused to participate in a threesome, according to Spanish media. The woman was allegedly punched in the face, which caused a cut that required stitches, and was sexually assaulted before she was rescued by plain-clothed officers in the area; the third suspect is accused of attacking an officer. One of the suspects fled the scene, but was found in Palma de Mallorca roughly 48 hours later.
A dozen-plus Toronto police officers have been arrested this year. That’s not just ‘bad apples’
