Two men have been charged after a woman was allegedly held captive inside a Toronto bar, given drugs, and sexually assaulted.In a news release, Toronto police said the 24-year-old victim was forcibly confined inside a bar at College Street and Manning Avenue on Thursday evening where she was "given illicit drugs and alcohol" and sexually assaulted. It is not clear whether or not the woman took the drugs consensually or was forced to take them. VICE has reached the police for further comment but has not yet heard back.On Saturday, Enzo De Jesus Carrasco, 31, and Gavin MacMillan, 41, were each charged with forcible confinement; sexual assault; and sexual assault as party to the offence with any other person.MacMillan is reportedly owner of College Street Bar, whose website describes him as one of the best flair bartenders in Canada. MacMillan's Facebook page says he's also the founder of BartenderOne, a bartending and hospitality training school.Both men appeared in court Saturday.The Sexual Assault Action Coalition, an advocacy group, said on Facebook it will be launching a petition to have the bar closed "until the staff receives anti violence and harassment training, until they develop anti harassment and anti sexual violence policies and ensure these two monsters never work there again."VICE called College Street Bar for comment but was unable to reach anyone.Follow Manisha Krishnan on Twitter.
