Description
August (late) Toronto The owners of Art Works Galleries on Bleecker Street were charged with the sexual assault of a fourteen-year-old Native employee. When they were released without bail, pending trial, members of the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto held a demonstration at Queen's Park. One placard at the demonstration read, "Where is the media when Emanuel is Native?" In the wake of media hysteria over the murder of Emanuel Jaques, coverage of this case was generally restrained.
