Toronto police constable Heather McWilliam broke down on the witness box as she testified about alleged sexual harassment at a Human Rights Tribunal hearing Friday. In 2014, McWilliam filed a human rights complaint alleging she was the victim of sexual workplace harassment for nearly eight years by her supervisors at Toronto police' 23 Division. She believed that unit would conduct a human rights investigation alongside the internal one, which she says didn't happen. After writing a memo, she says she was shunned by her fellow officers when she returned to work. McWilliam went on medical leave due to the stress she says the harassment caused her.
