Will try to recap my sexual harassment case and the related matters.... I was renting a basement apartment with my young son, at the time, in a residential neighbourhood and my landlady lived upstairs. After a short time, she said she found out her apartment was too small for my son and me, and wanted to evict us for "overcrowding..." However, there was an extra room attached to my apartment which she had more or less agreed to rent to me, but then she changed her mind.... There was also an indirect, sexual solicitation from her which I turned down.... Also, there were different ways of measuring the floor space in the apartment itself and by a generous interpretation--which was allowed by the building department of the city--there were only a few square feet short of the legal requirements.... It was my claim, although I didn't explain it well at the hearing, that my landlady was discriminating against me for not being gay and for not accepting her sexual solicitation.... I believed there were violations under the then-Ontario Human Rights Code, which were prosecutable under the former Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal....
The adjudicator had flirted with me before our hearing began, partly because he was acquainted with me previously...and I mistakenly sent him a few personal letters later on, and I unfortunately tried to discuss my case with him--which I had meant only for personal reasons, at the time.... But he was very upset about my case by that time and was making complaints about me to his work associates and superiors behind my back.... I received a stern letter from an executive in a different city and was confused.... I sent a sexual letter as a joke...and it wasn't received well, of course.... There was a complaint to the police and I later tried to apologize for the joke letter...but there were further complaints to the police.... Then finally, we had a criminal trial...and my landlord/tenant case was used against me with mistaken information.... The adjudicator had erred in law at my landlord/tenant hearing, also, and the entire agency was confused about my case, at the time.... I didn't have good legal representation and was convicted for criminal harassment....
Later on, I learned some of the police had a special project going on to help with LGBT issues.... They had actually wanted my help and I did writing for them.... There was also involvement with the film and TV industries but it was kept very quiet, although some civilians had SOME IDEA of what was going on.... I've found that many local people know SOMETHING, but even the police don't have the entire story, it seems.--There are different groups of police who know different things....
It happened that I believed the adjudicator knew about the police project and I contacted him for business reasons, after I'd been convicted and released from criminal harassment...and I got charged again.... If he knew something, he wasn't admitting anything; and he was still confused about the original problems that happened between us.... So, I've been working on things, for a long time.... The police project got more intense in the meantime, also, and I believe it was for a good purpose.... I haven't had any kind of a contract or definite proof of what was going on--I was going in faith and with some indirect evidence--but I believe things will be revealed, at some point.... This is about all I can say for the time being.... People are welcome to read my blogs....
