‘Situation is crisis all the time. There is no plan,’ says Ontario parent of adult son with autism

Ombudsman Paul Dubé is set to release that long-awaited report Wednesday at Queen’s Park. Last year, the ombudsman’s 2014-2015 annual report revealed the investigation had drawn more than 1,300 complaints, including “urgent, disturbing cases where adults with severe special needs were ending up in jail, homeless shelters and hospitals because no care or services were available for them.”

Five more sexual assault charges laid against Hamilton doctor

Police have laid five additional charges of sexual assault against a Hamilton doctor.

Dr. Pierre Picard, 48, now faces a total of seven sexual assault charges after more victims have come forward.

In August, a woman reported to police that she was sexually assaulted by her doctor in June. During the investigation, a second woman came forward and said she was assaulted by the same doctor in July.

On November 30, Picard was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault.

After a media release about Picard’s arrest was sent out on December 1, three more victims came forward and reported being sexually assaulted by Picard between 2015 and 2016.

Picard was arrested on December 14 and charged with five more counts of sexual assault. He has been released on a promise to appear in court.

Hamilton police believe there may be more victims that had contact with Picard and are asking anyone with further information to contact Detective Doug Jonovich of the Sexual Assault Unit at (905) 540-4614.
