Jian Ghomeshi dropped his lawsuit against his former employer at the CBC; now police have picked him up. The former radio host today surrendered to local authorities, who confirmed to CTV News that Ghomeshi has been charged with sexual assault. Toronto police released a statement that said the 47-year-old has been charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcome resistance - choking and that he'll appear in court this afternoon. (One accuser claims Ghomeshi used a stuffed bear during his assault on her.)
