A Toronto police officer who had an interaction with a teen who died hours later has been charged with manslaughter and aggravated assault, Ontario’s police watchdog said Friday—a development the 19-year-old’s family called an important step toward accountability.
The Special Investigations Unit said it had reasonable grounds to believe Const. Calvin Au, who was off-duty at the time, committed criminal offences in the death of 19-year-old Chadd Facey.
