BANCROFT, Ont. — Toronto Star columnist Rosie DiManno has been charged with assault, a Star spokesman has confirmed.

Ontario Provincial Police say an assault happened on Tuesday evening in Wollaston Township, Ont., about 230 kilometres east of Toronto.

They say DiManno, 60, and the alleged victim were visiting Wollaston when an assault occurred. They have released no details about the alleged victim.

DiManno is scheduled to appear in court on July 26.

The news broke shortly after Canada's largest newspaper said it had agreed to an independent review of its newsroom culture in the aftermath of the suicide of a prominent reporter.
