Legal battle involving Ont. govt, Rob Ford and his sister’s ex come to an end
TORONTO — The Ontario government says a legal battle involving the province, the late Rob Ford and his sister’s ex-boyfriend has come to an end.
The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services was one of the targets of a lawsuit filed by Scott MacIntyre, who alleged Ford conspired to have him attacked in jail so that he wouldn’t reveal the former Toronto mayor’s illicit activities.
MacIntyre was sent to jail in early 2012 after being charged with threatening Ford, who was still mayor then and had not yet publicly admitted to using crack cocaine.
He alleged security cameras in the area were “inexplicably disabled” before the attack and the guards stationed in the area didn’t help him.
