Police in Toronto have charged former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi with four sexual assault counts and one of “Overcome Resistance – Choking.” He surrendered to police and is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, the police say.

Other women came forward with allegations against Ghomeshi, including the actor Lucy DeCoutere.
