Arrest Made in a Case of Harassment of Women at the University of Waterloo

As series of posters and e-mails targeting women has plagued the campus of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, for several months. One e-mail, that claimed to be from the university’s president, showed a nuclear bomb and Marie Curie and made the case that women should not be entrusted in positions of power. Campaign posters of women running for student government positions were defaced with similar messages. E-mail messages were also sent to students at Wilfrid Laurier University, which is also in Waterloo.

Police have arrested a 34-year-old man in the case and charged him with criminal harassment and other offenses. He is a former student at the University of Waterloo.
