    Murder of Emanuel Jaques

    Emanuel Jaques was a 12-year-old Portuguese immigrant shoeshine boy who was sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in downtown Toronto in July 1977. Three men took part in the assault and murder, which occurred in an apartment above an erotic massage parlour on Yonge Street near Dundas. The murder shocked Toronto and led to an intense crackdown on the area’s businesses and sex workers. It also revived interest in the death penalty. Due to the fact that all three murderers were gay and two were pedophiles, the case sparked an anti-2SLGBTQ+ backlash. It forced the city to confront its self-mythologized image as “the city that works” and “Toronto the Good.” It also galvanized Toronto’s sizable Portuguese community, leading to a surge in solidarity and political activism.
