The woman who claims 3 of her Toronto Police colleagues sexually assaulted her after a night of partying makes a new accusation on the witness stand.
The complainant (who cannot be identified due to a standard publication ban) says she believes she was drugged some time before she got into a taxi bound for the Westin Harbour Castle, along with constables Leslie Nyznik and Josh Cabero.
They were off-duty and had been out for a boozy evening of bar-hopping on what some cops refer to as 'rookie buy night.'
The new revelation comes as the parking control officer is grilled by Nyznik's attorney over her version of what happened that night in January 2015.
Lawyers for the defense argue she was sober enough to consent to sex with Cabero and Nyznik, along with constable Sameer Kara, who went back to the hotel earlier in the evening after throwing up outside a bar they had all attended.
At the Superior Courthouse on Thursday, defense lawyer Harry Black pounced on the complainant's accusation that someone had slipped drugs in her drink.
He could be seen pacing back and forth on the courtroom floor as he pressed her for more information.
The deeper he would dig, the more flustered the complainant seemed to get.
She concedes that it is possible someone slipped something into her drink at The Brass Rail strip club, but admits that it might have happened somewhere else.
Black goes as far as to suggest that even after the complainant consumed a total of 7 cocktails and shooters, that there was "nothing wrong" with her by the time she leaves the club.
"You were not under the influence of alcohol or anything else, isn't that true?" Black asked.
"No," the complainant said.
The complainant has said she was feeling disoriented and as though she was "in a Star Trek warp" as she left the club.
Nyznik's lawyer put to her that she told a friend before the 'rookie night' party that she thought Nyznik was "cute."
"I didn't say that," she told Black in the courtroom, "what I said is that he's cute until he opens his mouth."
The allegation from the defense is that the complainant not only flirted with her accused attackers but later in the night also bragged to them about her skills in the bedroom.
"I'm going to suggest to you that you went to that party with the hope that by the end of the night, you would be in that hotel room having sex," Black said.
The complainant responded: "Absolutely not."
Black also claims that the complainant beckoned Nyznik to take her back to the hotel and explained in graphic detail the sex she wanted to have there.
The complainant denies all of it.
She insists her 3 police colleagues raped her as she slipped in a out of consciousness.
Constables Nyznik, Kara, and Cabero have all pleaded not guilty.
