Toronto police have opened a criminal investigation on Jian Ghomeshi after two women filed formal police complaints against the former CBC radio host and pretentious blowhard.
One of the women is Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy DeCoutere, while the other woman was interviewed by the CBC but wishes to remain anonymous.
Ghomeshi, former host of CBC radio program 'Q', was fired last Sunday. Since then, 8 woman have come forward to various media with detailed accounts of sexual assault, harassment and violence.
Earlier today, CBC's Vice-President of English Services Heather Conway sent a memo to all CBC staff outlining the companies timeline of events that lead to Ghomeshi's dismissal. (Via Twitter)

Here's another article detailing Jian's final meetings with CBC's top brass last week, and what ultimately lead to his dismissal. Basically, he was unrepentant arse and denied any wrongdoing to the CBC execs after watching some graphic footage, who turfed him on the spot.
His former bandmates in Moxy Fruvous have also distanced themselves from Jian; read their statement here.
Lights has dropped Jian as her manager:
Trick or Treat, asshole.
(mods, I paraphrased again, plus added more information. hopefully this is better?)
(ETA: added the CBC memo, and source for the memo)
