Scott MacIntyre, a former common-law spouse of the mayor’s sister, Kathy Ford, was brutally beaten in a Toronto jail in 2012. No charges have been laid in relation to the assault.

Mr. MacIntyre, a convicted drug dealer, was jailed at the time in relation to an incident where he burst into the mayor’s home in January 2012. He was later convicted of uttering death threats, possession and attempting to break a court order.

The assault at Metro West Detention Centre left Mr. MacIntyre with a broken leg, broken teeth and other injuries and he later had surgery at the Etobicoke General Hospital.

Along with Mr. Ford, Payman Aboodowleh — who coached football with the mayor — and Aedan Petros, who played for them at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School, are also named in the suit.
