Toronto Police confirm that they are investigating a man who allegedly recorded a conversation between himself and mayoral candidate Rob Ford in which the current city councillor reportedly urges the HIV positive man to “go on the street and score” the painkiller OxyContin. Mr. Ford lodged the criminal complaint Wednesday against Dieter Doneit-Henderson, the gay man to whom Ford publically apologized for comments he made at City Hall disparaging gay men, when he said “if you are not doing needles and you are not gay, you wouldn’t get AIDS probably; an apology that created in part as a photo opportunity for metro papers. According to reports, Doneit-Henderson was taking up 14mg of OxyContin a day to manage pain caused by fibromyalgia and a broken rib. His previous doctor refused to prescribe more, and he then turned to Ford, whom, it is alleged, along with campaign manager (also his brother) told Doneit-Henderson that they would help in obtaining painkillers. According to one taped conversation Ford, frustrated, says “why don’t you go on the street and score it? Leave this with me ... I have no idea. I don’t know any drug dealers at all ... I’ll bet my life I won’t be able to help you out ...because I’ve never done this kind of shit.” Ford alleges harassment, claiming that Doneit-Henderson threatened his life and the lives of his family.
