Toronto police are facing another G20-related lawsuit, this one by a group of seven people from Hamilton.
Their lawyer says the 1.4 (m) million dollar suit alleges, among other things, wrongful arrest and illegal detention.
One woman claims to have been sexually assaulted when she was searched.
Some of the female plaintiffs allege they were profiled because of their ``hairy legs.''
The lawsuit could be the last of its kind arising out of the summit in June 2010 because of the two-year limitation period.
None of the claims has been proven in court.
