Police seek library flasher
Police are looking for an exhibitionist who’s been seen in both the McGill and UdeM libraries and is accused of groping women and flashing.
The CBC trigger warning strikes me as redundant when the headline already indicates that the report is about incidents of sexual assault.

The CBC trigger warning is redundant, but it is likely there as a matter of policy, not editorial judgement, so redundancy is not even considered.
I’m curious about the timing. These events took place last summer, so why are they just reaching out to the public for help now?

I’m curious, too. Maybe they were only reported to the police recently?

Maybe. More likely it’s just low priority (especially since there hasn’t been a reported event since last September) so it languishes in the backlog and only now and then does someone put in a few hours’ effort.
