Description

April 10 Toronto Police charged the organizers of a Toronto Rape Crisis Centre dance with the offence of "failing to clear" after a few women were found with partially full bottles of alcohol after 1 a.m. The charges were later dropped because of a technical error. At least four plainclothes officers monitored the dance; two were positioned close to the bar all evening. The obvious police presence at the event was seen as an attempt to intimidate the large number of lesbians and gay men in attendance.
