Toronto police responded to a home in the city’s Christie Pits neighborhood on July 31 after threatening emails were sent to councillors, said Clara Sorrenti, who was told by a Toronto police officer. The homeowner, John Sorrenti, confirmed that police showed up at his residence, but provided few other details. “Everything was fine. They were good, they were kind, they didn’t do anything wrong,” John Sorretti of the Toronto police said in a brief interview Thursday. “For me, they did their job and I’m happy they did their job.” John Sorretti allayed concerns that he may have accidentally been the target of ‘swatting’, a term used to make a false report to the police in an attempt to get them to raid someone’s home. “I’m not worried at all because I’ve never done anything bad to anybody,” he said.

Her personal information, including her home and email addresses, was posted on Kiwifarms.net, where John Sorrenti’s address, listed on Canada411.ca as C. Sorrenti, was also posted.

A Toronto police spokesman declined to say whether officers were dispatched to Christy Peaches’ home on July 31, but confirmed that a citizen filed a report and no further details would be released due to the ongoing investigation. Fearing for her safety after the London police raid, Sorrenti was staying in a hotel until his location was also posted on Kiwifarms on Sunday. Pizza orders from several restaurants bearing her dead name—the male name she was given at birth and changed years ago—started showing up at the hotel, prompting her to leave. Trolls analyzed a photo she posted of her cat in the hotel room, Sorrenti said, and matched the cover to an online listing for the hotel. Sorrenti, who now lives at an undisclosed location, accuses kiwi farms of facilitating online harassment of transgender activists in Canada and the United States.

A thread dedicated to Sorretti started on the site on March 25 has generated thousands of posts, including several posts revealing her address and that of John Sorretti along with a Google image of his home. Posting a person’s personal information online without their consent is known as doxing. Users debated whether Clara Sorrenti lived at the Toronto address, with some claiming to have confirmed she did, while others said the information was unverified. Sorretti posted a video on Thursday detailing her most recent glorification incident alongside John Sorretti’s glorification. “It happened to me because I’m trans, but it could happen to anyone,” she said of the swatting and doxing. The Free Press reached out to Kiwifarms for comment and received the following response: “The press are scum.” [email protected]
