Cop threatened him with sex toys, man alleges; calls for officer's firing

The Canadian Press

TORONTO - A Toronto tow-truck driver is calling for the firing of a police officer he says threatened to assault him with a sex toy.

Const. Ludgero Cafe had been charged with uttering a threat to cause bodily harm after an investigation by the province's special investigations unit.

However, the man's lawyer says the Crown withdrew criminal charges against the provincial police officer.

Video taken inside the police station last March shows Cafe brandishing what appear to be sex toys at the driver, Jagdis Tirbany.

There is an exchange of words, and Tirbany is accused of having a big mouth and complete disregard for the law.

On the video, Cafe is seen briefly with what appears to be a sex toy in either hand, and saying "which one do you want to use."

Crown prosecutor Ian Bulmer was not immediately available to explain why he withdrew the charge in the case.

Tirbany said he expects to file a lawsuit against the police.
