Four journalists have filed complaints with Ontario's police watchdog, with allegations that police physically assaulted or threatened to sexually assault the females when they were arrested during the Toronto G20 summit.
On Tuesday, Jesse Rosenfeld, Amy Miller, Daniel McIsaac and Lisa Walter each filed complaints about their arrests with the Office of Independent Police Review Director.
Rosenfeld said the group of journalists met and exchanged stories about their violent encounters during the weekend and are working with lawyer Julian Falconer of Falconer Charney LLP.
Rosenfeld, 26, was freelancing for the Guardian, a U.K.-based newspaper, and was arrested when he was covering a group of demonstrators in front of a hotel in downtown Toronto on Saturday night.
He said one officer told his colleague, "that's the loud mouth kid who was mouthing off to me yesterday" and the officials didn't bother to confirm his credentials. Instead, Rosenfeld said the officers "jumped" him.
"I was grabbed on each side and hit in the stomach and back and pounced on by officers. I kept asking them why they were beating me because I wasn't resisting arrest. But they lifted my leg and twisted my ankle."
He said he was also kneed in the ribs before he was arrested for breach of the peace and taken to the detention centre in the city's east end.
Montreal-based journalist Amy Miller told a news conference on Monday that officers threatened to rape her when she was arrested Sunday afternoon.
"I was told I was going to be gang banged. I was told that I was never going to want to act as a journalist again by making sure I was going to be repeatedly raped while I was in jail," she said.
