A Toronto woman says she felt "physically ill" after seeing a sign inside a local bar that appeared to make light of sexual assault, prompting management to issue an apology for the "disgusting" sign and fire an employee they said is responsible.

A Toronto bar is under review by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (ACGO) after its owner and an employee were charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement.

A Toronto bar owner and an employee are facing more charges after police say a woman was drugged, sexually assaulted and forcibly confined inside the establishment last month.
