Petition Letter: Hello,
I am sorry to be doing this again. My name is Diane Lee and I am a second year student in Arts and Science.
About two months ago, my housemates and I found out that one of my housemates, Parker Sawadsky had been stealing mine, and my other female housemate's dirty thongs and used tampon applicators. And in the same bag that all the other items were discovered, little spy cameras were found. We were evidently very shocked and scared what this may entail so we contacted some resources on campus. The general consensus reached from talking to these resources was that it was prudent to contact the police. We met up with a road officer who told us that our housemate was going to be arrested that night on charges of theft and they would issue a search warrant for our house the next day and take all electronic devices and evidence. A few days later, I got a call from the detective in charge of the case asking me to identify some people. Parker has been part of my friend group from grade ten or eleven, and all the girls that he was naming were my close friends from high school. On Parker's desktop, there were multiple videos of seven different girls and one guy changing and peeing from his residence in Toronto. He had hidden a camera in his washroom vent to film people when he invited people over for pool parties. My ex-housemate is now being charged with counts of theft and voyeurism.
This whole incident really took precedence in my life for the past eight weeks and it was really hard to focus on anything else. It seemed like some new problem associated with this case would pop up every time I was getting ready to move on. Because of this, I already have dropped one course as I was very behind in my classes and lacked time to catch up in them. However, the more time I put into my other courses, the more I realized that it would be very difficult catching up in six weeks of courses that were all difficult and heavily time consuming. I really wanted to be able to do it and I really did try hard, but it was beyond my control and the results were poor. I just felt like this year was a poor reflection of the efforts I put in to increase my grades.
Thank you so much for your time. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
