Second lawsuit filed against convicted killer Russell Williams, ex-wife and OPP

TWEED, Ont. - A second woman who was sexually assaulted by Colonel Russell Williams, has filed a lawsuit against the convicted killer, his ex wife, and the Ontario Provincial Police.

Laurie Massicotte was a neighbour of Williams in Tweed, Ontario, and was bound, stripped and sexually assaulted in September 2009.

The Toronto Star reported, the more than $7-million law suit filed on Friday claims police failed to provide her with any information about the identity of her assailant while he remained her neighbour for five months following the assault.

Massicottee told the Star, it was only after her assault that she heard another woman who lived on the street had been sexually assaulted twelve days before she was attacked.

She also said after she called the police, they told her she had to stay tied up until they could document the scene, which she said took five hours.

Williams, a former commander of Canadian Forces base Trenton, was stripped of his military rank following his conviction last fall.  

He is serving a life sentence for the murders of two women, two sexual assaults and dozens of break-ins.  Another of his victims, whose name has not been released, is suing Williams and his ex-wife for $2.45-million.  

Williams and his wife signed an agreement shifting the couple's assets into her name before she filed for divorce.
