An 81-year-old man has been charged with criminal harassment of a city councillor in Sudbury.
However, a news release from Greater Sudbury police Wednesday doesn't identify the suspect or the councillor involved in the case.
“The information has not been sworn to through the court process, therefore the individual’s name cannot be released,” police spokesperson Kaitlyn Dunn said in an email.
“To protect the individual’s privacy, the councillor’s name will not be released.”
Police began the investigation May 16 after receiving a complaint from the politician.
“The harassment of the councillor began in 2022 and has continued throughout 2023 and 2024, escalating from harassing communication to attending and harassing the councillor at their residence causing the councillor to fear for their safety,” the police news release said.
On May 21, the suspect was charged with criminal harassment. He was released on an undertaking with a court date of June 19.
