An 81-year-old man has been charged with criminal harassment of a city councillor in Sudbury.
An 81-year-old man has been charged with criminal harassment of a city councillor in Sudbury.
However, a news release from Greater Sudbury police Wednesday doesn't identify the suspect or the councillor involved in the case.
“The information has not been sworn to through the court process, therefore the individual’s name cannot be released,” police spokesperson Kaitlyn Dunn said in an email.
“To protect the individual’s privacy, the councillor’s name will not be released.”
However, Ward 7 Coun. Natalie Labbée confirmed to CTV News Northern Ontario that she is the councillor in the case.
Labbée told CTV in a message that she’s speaking out because it’s important for the public to be aware of the “level of harassment” she has faced.
“There's an expectation that we should expect some level of scrutiny and criticism from the public on our decisions, but it should never cross the line where our personal lives are compromised,” she said in the message.
