Clara Sorrenti, aka Keffals, is a streamer and trans-activist who has been confirmed to have filed a Human Rights Complaint against London Police in Ontario, Canada, for alleged discrimination against her trans-identity. The suit is in reference to an arrest dating back to August 2022, when Sorrenti was effectively swatted by a troll and subsequently arrested.

According to local reports, the complaint claims that Clara was subject to anti-trans discrimination during and before the arrest when the authorities failed to investigate the swatting before it occurred despite prior communication of the same, being deadnamed during the arrest, and assaulted by the police, among other things.

Keffals reposted a tweet from a lawyer named Justin Anisman, representing the streamer in the discrimination case.

According to the press release shared by Mr. Anisman, the main charges against London Police include negligence and anti-trans discrimination that includes misgendering, deadnaming, or calling Ms. Sorrenti by their pre-transition name during the arrest. The press release also states that to "clarify" the streamer's gender identity during the traumatic arrest, a police officer allegedly groped Clara's breasts before saying:
