Toronto police say officers are investigating sexual assault allegations against a man who is believed to be a York University professor. The allegations were posted on social media by a person who reported to be on the same TTC subway train during an incident in which a man inappropriately touched a woman on the subway. The person who wrote the post said they were sleeping on the subway when they were approached by the alleged victim who reportedly detailed what transpired. She was wearing a sweater, so she noticed right away. A spokesperson with Toronto police confirmed to Global News officers are aware of the incident and are working alongside officials at York University.

Her underwear shoved to the side as his body hovered over hers, one of his feet still on the floor. Her ripped dresses, the clothespins that bent apart on her apron as another brother grabbed her at dusk by the hogpen after they finished feeding the pigs. They usually got what they wanted. Instead, she attended a one-room Amish schoolhouse and rode a horse and buggy to church—a life designed to be humble and disciplined and godly. By 14, she says, three more brothers had raped her and she was being attacked in the hayloft or in her own bed multiple times a week. She would roll over afterward, ashamed and confused. And even on the day when, at 14, she says she was cornered in the pantry by one of her brothers and raped on the sink, and then felt a gush and saw blood running down her leg, and cleaned up alone while he walked away, and gingerly placed her underwear in a bucket of cold water before going back to her chores.
