"Traill, meanwhile, issued her own statement about the situation in September, saying "unequivocally" that she did not leave the message. "I have been advised that artificial intelligence technology was involved," she wrote. "Portions of the voicemail were my voice, but other parts were artificially generated." Traill went on to say that she respects the investigative process and planned to fully cooperate so what happened could be established. "It is important that residents have confidence in the outcome, and I share in the community's desire for clarity and truth," she wrote."
"In a social media post from September, former mayoral candidate and retired police officer Tom Dingwall alleged that in August, he received a voicemail from Traill telling him to stay out of next year's mayoral race to allow a friend of hers to "run unencumbered." Dingwall went on to say that the message "made it clear" that if he did not, he would be killed and his wife would be sexually assaulted. "To be clear, no elected official, paid to represent us, should utilize intimidation or threats to dissuade anyone from pursuing elected office or engaging in public service, especially to the benefit of their friend," he wrote."
Corinna Traill, a Ward 3 municipal councillor in Clarington, Ont., has been arrested and charged with two counts of uttering threats by Peterborough police. She was released on a promise to appear and is due back in court in January. Retired police officer and former mayoral candidate Tom Dingwall alleges he received an August voicemail from Traill warning him to stay out of next year's mayoral race or face death and sexual violence against his wife. Traill denies leaving the message, saying portions were her voice while other parts were artificially generated via artificial intelligence. She said she will fully cooperate with investigators and seeks clarity and truth so residents can have confidence in the outcome.
