A young Brampton woman is suing the City of Mississauga for $2.5 million, claiming she was sexually assaulted by a co-worker while working as a summer student.

The lawsuit also names as a defendant the parks and forestry department employee she accuses of sexually assaulting her in a city park this past July.

The 19-year-old, identified only as MG in the lawsuit filed this week, reported to police that she was sexually assaulted on the afternoon of July 12. A City of Mississauga employee was charged.

The suit claims she was working alone in Whiteoaks Park on Truscott Drive in Mississauga when a co-worker arrived, her hair was pulled and she was sexually assaulted at the side of a city-owned vehicle.
