No charges for man accused of posting nude photos without consent
TORONTO — A Toronto photographer and comedian accused of publicly posting racy photos of women online without their consent will not face criminal charges after agreeing to a peace bond Wednesday.
Ren Bostelaar’s lawyer says that under the terms of the bond, his client is barred from contacting multiple women who made allegations against him and from posting photos on certain websites for a year.
Sam Goldstein says Bostelaar’s behaviour was “inappropriate but not criminal” and has brought on sufficient punishment outside of the criminal justice system.
He says his client has “suffered great shame” as a result of the allegations, and withdrawn from a lucrative book deal.
