Iranian authorities also recently added murder to her charges.

"Here was a Black young woman, 23 years old, being harassed by her ex-partner, and at a moment of desperation calls the police for support — and then receives no support, really." cbc.ca/news/canada/t…

He cautioned Mallia even though there was "ample evidence" that she was the victim. twitter.com/EndingVi…

"He has remained on paid leave from the force ever since." twitter.com/EndingVi…

"Ultimately, you took no action to protect the complainant despite her repeated pleas that her ex-boyfriend's behaviour caused her to fear for her safety," the Toronto police document reads. twitter.com/endingvi…

Just three days before, according to Toronto police hearing documents outlining the case, Mallia reported to investigators that her ex-boyfriend Dylon Dowman — who is now facing a first-degree murder charge — had been threatening and harassing her in text messages. twitter.com/endingvi…
