London, Ont. police chief apologizes after trans activist was victim of ‘swatting’
Chief Steve Williams confirmed that Clara Sorrenti, a transgender woman and popular Twitch streamer known as ‘Keffals’ was the victim of a ‘swatting’ on Friday, August 5, 2022.Williams said that he had reached out to Sorrenti to discuss the incident and made her aware of how a complaint can be filed if she chooses to do so.
As a result of further investigation, we do not believe that the threatening emails received by City Hall officials originated with Ms. Sorrenti. We believe there was a deliberate attempt by a third party to place suspicion on Ms. Sorrenti in relation to what are now believed to be false threats to harm people at City Hall. This is sometimes referred to as “swatting”. With this determination made, Ms.
I can share some information regarding the initial police response to the threats received at City Hall. On Friday, August 5 at 8:30 a.m., we received a 911 call regarding a person threatening to attend City Hall to shoot people. A short time later we received a second 911 call questioning when officers would arrive. Threats of this nature are taken seriously by police, as I believe the public expects they would be.
