1001 Lies, One Lawyer: The Summary
The Shocking Story of what Caryma Sa'd did to Elisa Hategan and others
Don’t have time to read my 74-page article “1001 Lies, One Lawyer”, but want to learn more about what lawyer Caryma Sa’d and her boyfriend Adam Lee Wasserman did? Here’s an AI-powered Summary that breaks it down into approx. 8 pages in Word (10+ pages in Substack).
The Author's Experience with Caryma Sa'd
Elisa Hategan, the author, recounts her story of being wrongfully arrested and charged with "criminal harassment" after her former best friend, lawyer Caryma Sa'd, made false accusations to the police, which were taken at face value without investigation due to Caryma's status as a lawyer. Caryma made the false allegations to preemptively discredit and stop Elisa from disclosing information about Caryma and her boyfriend Lee’s alleged wrongdoings.
The author's experience highlights the power imbalance and credibility conferred by a law license, which can lead to the manipulation of the justice system and the deprivation of individual rights and freedoms, as seen in Elisa's case, where she was denied her Charter rights and freedom due to Caryma's false accusations.
Introduction to the Author's Ordeal
The author, Elisa Hategan, was wrongfully arrested and charged with "criminal harassment" due to false accusations made by her former friend, lawyer Caryma Sa'd. The author was arrested twice, once on December 10, 2023, and again on June 26, 2024, with charges being withdrawn on March 6, 2025.
Between September and November 2023, Elisa sent approximately 15 emails to Caryma, which were used as evidence of "harassment" despite there being no indication from Caryma that she felt harassed, no requests for cessation of correspondence, and no formal cautions issued by police.
Elisa was arrested again on June 26, 2024, and charged with breaching her release order not to contact Caryma, which she claims she did not do, after Caryma complained to the police about Elisa's tweets about her, which were deemed "indirect communication" by the police.
On March 6, 2025, all criminal charges against Elisa were withdrawn. But before she could regain a sense of normalcy, Caryma unleashed a new wave of baseless accusations, demonstrating the ongoing struggle for justice and truth that Elisa faces.
Caryma Sa'd continued to make baseless accusations against the author, including a failed peace bond application on May 14, 2025, and allegedly enlisting the help of others, such as Aileen Tobias, who spread lies about the author on social media.
Caryma's Tactics and History of False Accusations
Caryma Sa'd sued Aileen Tobias in June 2024 after Tobias referred to her and her boyfriend “Lee” as "neo-Nazis", but the court documents do not mention the @SP411STAR account on X as a cause for the lawsuit.
The author suggests that Tobias's statements and actions are inconsistent with the court documents and may be part of a larger effort to manipulate and deceive.
Elisa also suggests that Caryma's boyfriend "Lee" is likely hiding his real name due to past criminal activity, and that he is the owner/CEO of a prostitution review board called SP411.cc - a secret revealed by the @SP411STAR account. Caryma and Lee presumably wish to shut down the @SP411STAR account at any cost, and call its revelations “harassment”.
The gravity of this situation is significant, especially given Caryma's history of approaching at least one other individual she has sued and offering to drop the case in exchange for inaccurate testimony against her other targets, as seen in the case of Jennifer Evans, who tweeted about a DM conversation with one of Caryma's defendants, known as Defendant X.
Defendant X was offered a deal by Caryma to drop the case in exchange for untruthful testimony, but declined, highlighting the potential for a conflict of interest and the risk of innocent people being incriminated by desperate defendants seeking to avoid financial penalties.
The article suggests that Caryma may be using false testimony to bolster her police reports and support her claims of "harassment" against her critics, and that she has a history of filing numerous police reports and peace bond applications of varying degrees of veracity.
The use of false evidence and testimony can have serious consequences, including the arrest of innocent people and the silencing of valid criticism, with the courts and authorities often deferring to Caryma, who is a member of the Law Society of Ontario. The article argues that it is essential to consider the consequences of her actions and the motivations behind them.
The author argues that fact-based criticism of Caryma Sa'd is not a crime and is protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and that Caryma's attempts to frame her critics as "criminal harassers inciting hatred and violence" are unfounded.
Tobias claimed that Caryma sued her over the @SP411STAR account, but this contradicts the court documents, raising questions about Tobias' honesty and potential backroom maneuvering.
Caryma's Influence and Control
The author describes how she was emotionally vulnerable and a victim of cyberbullying, and how Caryma, who was her only friend at the time, leveraged this vulnerability to enlist her aid in co-authoring and ghostwriting articles and social media posts that targeted Caryma's enemies.
Over time, Elisa helped Caryma build her "brand" as a journalist and influencer, but Caryma's boyfriend Lee, who acted as her "Gatekeeper", became furious when Elisa disobeyed his orders to delete tweets about her suicidal ideation, which he believed reflected badly on Caryma's brand.
In September 2023, "Lee" cut Elisa out of Caryma's life, blocking her on social media and phone, and gave Caryma an ultimatum to choose between him and Elisa, which led to Caryma contacting the police and feeding them false information about Elisa in an attempt to have her arrested.
Elisa alleges that Caryma lied to the police on multiple occasions, including claiming that "Lee" had nothing to do with her being blocked, when in fact "Lee" had a history of hacking their conversations and blocking Elisa whenever he was upset.
Elisa provides evidence of "Lee's" involvement in their communications, including text messages and emails, which contradict Caryma's claims that "Lee" was removed from the situation and did not intercept her emails or direct messages.
Elisa describes a situation where “Lee” hacked into an email address and read a private letter without permission, which led to Elisa being blocked and forced to communicate with Caryma in secret for two months.
Elisa explains that Lee has unrestricted access to Caryma's communication channels and controls who she can communicate with, which is evident from the fact that she was blocked every time Lee had a "hissy fit" about them texting too much.
The Author's Relationship with Caryma and Gisela
Caryma and Elisa formed a close friendship and working relationship, but Caryma's boyfriend "Lee" became increasingly controlling and abusive, eventually cutting Elisa out of Caryma's life.
Caryma made false allegations to the police about Elisa, attempting to have her charged and arrested repeatedly, with Caryma repeatedly lying about "Lee's" involvement in their fallout.
Caryma's past conflicts with Gisela and others in her Antifa/anarchist circle stemmed from controversy surrounding a public debate with Chris Sky in July 2021, which led to criticism that Caryma perceived as bullying and intolerance.
Caryma falsely linked Elisa Hategan and Gisela McKay, both of whom she reported to police, in an attempt to fabricate a conspiracy of criminal wrongdoing.
Elisa was hated by Gisela before they even met, with Gisela labeling her as a "Nazi" and "racist" largely due to her association with Caryma. There is no collaboration between them.
Elisa eventually met Gisela at a pro-Palestinian encampment, and Caryma used this meeting to falsely accuse the author of being part of a conspiracy to harass her, leading to further false allegations and attempts to have the author charged.
Caryma's False Accusations, Hypocrisy and Abuse of Power
Elisa criticizes Caryma for making false accusations against her, including claims of criminal activity, hate crimes, and harassment, which she asserts are utterly unfounded and intended to deflect attention from Caryma's own wrongdoing.
Caryma's accusations are seen as malicious and an attempt to character-assassinate Elisa and prevent her from speaking out about Caryma's and Lee's alleged unlawful activities, with Elisa arguing that Caryma's actions are a form of preemptive strike to silence her.
Elisa accuses Caryma of lying to police about the nature of a civil court gag order, claiming Caryma portrayed it as a criminal restraining order that showed Elisa was dangerous, and led police to falsely believe that Elisa posed a danger to her.
Elisa also notes that Caryma is aware of her history, including a brief charge related to flyers made by the Heritage Front when she was eighteen, which was later dismissed after she was exonerated by witnesses and a Crown prosecutor, and that Caryma has distorted this history to fit her own narrative, including falsely claiming that Elisa was responsible for 1990s firebombings and other criminality.
Caryma had previously reassured Elisa on two separate occasions in 2022 that their conversations were privileged and bound by solicitor-client privilege, but she later shared information about Elisa's civil case and other private details with others, and told police that Elisa had been involved in dangerous criminal activity “her whole life”, a boldfaced and egregious lie.
Elisa denies all of Caryma's accusations, including claims of firebombing group homes, non-existent threats to poison Caryma's cats, and sharing her mother's address with others, and states that she has solid proof of Caryma's wrongdoing.
Caryma Sa'd also lied to police about Elisa’s Cease & Desist note, falsely describing it as a "threat" to her “client” and her client’s family. Elisa points out the hypocrisy of Caryma's actions, noting that she mails out cease and desist notices like party invitations and that her definition of harassment and threats would implicate herself in many instances.
Elisa believes that Caryma's false accusations and lies to police are so brazenly absurd and divorced from reality that they will ultimately lead to Caryma’s own arrest and conviction for mischief, intimidation, obstruction, and/or perjury.
She also notes that Caryma initiated contact with her under false pretenses, promising solicitor-client privilege in order to gain access to Elisa's legal files and secrets, which she believes was done in order to target people affiliated with a group called CAHN.
Caryma's Abuse of the Legal System
Caryma, a lawyer, is accused of exploiting her profession and manipulating law enforcement to silence her critics, including the author, by filing false police reports and peace bond applications.
She uses various logical fallacies, such as ad hominem attacks, appeal to authority, circular reasoning, and guilt-by-association, to discredit her opponents and deflect from substantive arguments.
The Concept of Guilt-by-Association: The text also highlights how Caryma uses the phrase "linked to" as a catchphrase for criminal activity, which involves leveraging, conflating, piggybacking, and smearing by association, with the definition and metrics of what "linked" means being specified by Caryma on her own terms.
Elisa claims that Caryma's actions have caused her significant harm, including financial burden, emotional trauma, and damage to her reputation, and that she is forced to defend herself against Caryma’s malicious fabrications.
Caryma’s False Allegations and the @SP411STAR Account
Elisa Hategan is being targeted by Caryma Sa'd, who uses guilt-by-association and circular reasoning to accuse Elisa of being "linked" to Antifa extremists and the Twitter account @SP411STAR, which she denies having any involvement with.
Caryma is trying to pin the ownership of @SP411STAR on Elisa and/or others who have criticized her and/or Lee, in an attempt to silence them and have them charged with criminal harassment.
Elisa was wrongly accused of breaching a court condition by allegedly posting about Caryma on the internet via a domain called carymasad.ca, which she had previously registered for Caryma as a favour, but let expire. Elisa had not posted about Caryma, and no longer owed the domain.
The domain was later registered by someone else and pointed to a LinkTree page and @SP411STAR on X, but Elisa had no involvement with this.
Despite providing evidence of her innocence, including emails from Namecheap and CIRA, 14 Division Police initially intended to charge her, but later dropped the case due to lack of evidence, only for Caryma to make new false accusations against Elisa, claiming she was part of a "hate campaign" against her.
Caryma is accused of making false accusations and suing people in an attempt to link them to the Twitter account @SP411STAR and prosecute them for "criminal harassment".
Caryma is trying to pin the ownership of @SP411STAR on people who have criticized her and disclosed Lee’s association with sex industry website SP411.cc. She is reporting her “enemies” to police, rather than pushing for a production order to reveal the identity of the account owner.
Caryma's Pattern of Harassment and Intimidation
Elisa Hategan claims that Caryma Sa’d is trying to conflate her name with activists such as Gisela McKay, to dispose of multiple "enemies" at once and to portray her as a dangerous person.
Caryma's actions are described as malicious and dishonest, with Elisa stating that Caryma has no evidence to support her claims and is instead relying on fabrication to achieve her goals.
Caryma Sa'd has a history of making false allegations and using the legal system to harass and intimidate her critics, including Keven and Dawn Ages, whom she falsely accused of harassment.
Caryma also targeted Elisa with false allegations and attempted to obtain a peace bond against her, despite having no evidence and not having had any contact with Elisa in over a year.
The peace bond applications against Elisa Hategan and Jennifer Evans were dismissed in May 2025, but not before causing significant stress and harm to the individuals involved, highlighting Caryma Sa'd's abuse of the legal system and her attempts to silence and intimidate her critics.
The Author's Experience with PTSD and Trauma
Elisa Hategan is dealing with severe PTSD after being wrongfully arrested twice due to lies told by Caryma, a lawyer with a large social media following.
Caryma told police over a hundred verifiable lies about Elisa, including false accusations of hate crimes, firebombing, and threatening behavior, which led to Elisa's second wrongful arrest.
Elisa is seeking accountability for the trauma she experienced and is itemizing each of Caryma's lies, which were frequently contradicted by Caryma's own text messages and were told to police before Elisa's first and second charges were laid.
The Author's Concerns and Fears
Elisa Hategan expresses concerns about her safety and well-being, stating that if anything happens to her, the article should serve as a record of the actions taken by Caryma Sa’d against her.
Caryma's actions, along with those of "Lee", are calculated to maintain a certain public image, and they are willing to silence anyone who dares to expose their illicit activities or reveal uncomfortable truths, including Lee's ties to the sex industry.
Elisa accuses Caryma of being ruthless in her commitment to silencing dissent and burying inconvenient truths, using tactics such as filing false police reports and peace bond applications to discredit her detractors and maintain a facade of legitimacy.
Caryma relies on crude conflations and guilt-by-association smears to exploit police tendencies to act swiftly on generalizations. By getting her detractors charged criminally or smeared as harassers, she aims to discredit their observations and have them viewed as "harassment" and malicious fabrication.
Elisa notes that each false police report filed by Caryma against her has tarnished her name further in the eyes of law enforcement, creating a distorted picture that leads police officers to assume she must be culpable of something, and that the more reports Caryma stacks, the greater the chance authorities will eventually take her claims seriously.
Elisa accuses Caryma of using logical fallacies, such as the ad hominem attack and the appeal to authority, to silence her critics and deflect from substantive arguments, and that these tactics undermine the validity of her arguments and are used to maintain a flimsy facade of legitimacy.
Caryma's Lies to the Police
Caryma Sa'd, a lawyer, made false accusations to the Toronto Police (TPS) against Elisa Hategan, the author, including claims of "stalking" and "defamatory libel" for posting screenshots of her own text messages.
Elisa alleges that Caryma lied about their interactions, denying that their conversations were bound by solicitor-client privilege, despite assisting Elisa in multiple civil law matters.
Caryma's accusations against Elisa are described as blatant and boldfaced lies, with no proof to support her claims, while Elisa has solid proof of Caryma's wrongdoing.
Caryma's Abuse of Power as a Lawyer
Elisa Hategan is criticizing Caryma Sa’d for allegedly fabricating evidence and exploiting the police and criminal justice system to harass and silence her critics.
Caryma has been using her profession to harass and intimidate her critics, filing numerous false police reports and lawsuits against them.
Caryma has been aided by her boyfriend "Lee", who has a history of exploiting and extorting women, and has been controlling Caryma's actions and manipulating her into doing his bidding.
The judicial system has been complicit in Caryma's actions, giving her preferential treatment due to her law license, and failing to sanction her for professional misconduct, despite widespread allegations of her wrongdoings.
Elisa finds it farfetched that Caryma would accuse her of conspiring with Gisela McKay, an Antifa activist, and suggests that Caryma's accusations are driven by her own paranoia and self-centeredness.
Elisa's account highlights the intense and prolonged harassment she has faced from Caryma, including numerous false police reports, arrests, and a traumatic 15-month ordeal followed by a baseless peace bond attempt. She emphasizes that she has done nothing to warrant such treatment, but is instead being targeted for speaking out against Caryma's unethical behavior.
Caryma's actions are seen as hypocritical, given her profession as a lawyer and her attempts to ingratiate herself with law enforcement, while simultaneously accusing others of being a "network of harassers" and leveraging their run-ins with the law to smear them by association.
Elisa accuses Caryma of using her law license to command instant credibility and navigate the legal system to her advantage, employing buzzwords and triggers to capture law enforcement's attention and ensure that her accusations resonate with authorities.
Elisa expresses concern that if she does not expose Caryma's false allegations, she will continue to be targeted and potentially framed for crimes she did not commit, and that the financial burden of defending herself against these allegations has already taken a significant toll on her life, forcing her to borrow thousands of dollars and making it difficult for her to access counselling to deal with the trauma caused by Caryma's actions.
Elisa concludes that the only thing she has left to defend herself is the truth, and that she is fighting not just for her reputation, but for her survival, as the consequences of Caryma's lies are staggering and life-altering.
The Consequences of Caryma's Actions
Caryma has been accused of "gang-stalking" others while simultaneously reporting her critics to the police for harassment and claiming to feel scared for her safety, demonstrating a significant level of hypocrisy in her actions.
Caryma has been known to interact with her critics on social media platforms, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, and has even gone so far as to track down the ex-lover of one of her critics, a married American man, in an attempt to gather information about her critic, presumably to intimidate her.
The ex-lover compared his affair with Caryma's critic to "Fatal Attraction" and blamed the critic for his divorce, with Caryma laughing and recounting the details of the conversation, showing her willingness to extract intimate information from others to use against her critics.
Despite claiming to feel scared and harassed by her critics, Caryma has been involved in several instances of intimidation and harassment herself, including attempting to ambush one of her critics, Keven Ages, and his wife at a public restaurant, and subjecting him to months of stress and legal costs through repeated police reports, a lawsuit, and a failed peace bond application.
Caryma's actions have resulted in a significant waste of resources, including taxpayer money and policing resources, as she has repeatedly used the police and the courts to threaten her critics and induce libel chill, with the judicial system often taking her lies as truth due to her status as a lawyer.
The judicial system has become complicit in Caryma's unlawful harassment and intimidation campaigns by failing to hold her accountable for her actions, allowing her to continue using the system to silence her critics and further her own interests, with "justice" only going in one direction for her.
Elisa describes Caryma's actions as a means to safeguard her "brand" by reporting dozens of people to the police as "criminal harassers" and suing or threatening to sue them for slighting her online, which has arguably become a significant part of her legal career.
Caryma's legal actions have been characterized by fallacious police reports, unjustified peace bond applications, and unsubstantiated lawsuits, with her law license potentially giving her preferential treatment in the legal system, including overt favoritism from police and courts and omission from the Law Society to sanction or investigate her for professional misconduct.
Elisa highlights the hypocrisy of Caryma's actions by imagining someone doing to her what she has done to others, including stalking, filming, and photographing people, organizing "letter-writing campaigns" to get them fired, and scheming to ruin their personal events, which would be considered harassment if done by someone else.
Caryma's Tactics and Motivations
Caryma has been accused of commissioning scathing cartoons to mock and degrade her critics, while taking great offense and threatening legal action when someone else draws an unflattering cartoon of her, and obsessively stalking her "enemies" while hiding details about her own boyfriend's arrest and criminal charges.
Elisa further accuses Caryma and/or her boyfriend “Lee” of feeding solicitor-client privileged information to third parties, including a friend and “client” with "severe mental issues" who has tormented, threatened, and terrorized Elisa, to whom Caryma owes thousands of dollars in compensation for unpaid labor.
Additionally, Caryma has been known to crash personal events uninvited, film people against their will, and upload videos with snarky captions to disparage and tear apart their performances.
Caryma has also paid to get a life-size cardboard cutout of a senior citizen who gave her partner the finger after being filmed without consent, and uploaded photos/videos of him to social media, which incited harassment against him and his family members.
Elisa concludes by highlighting the double standard in Caryma's actions, where she considers her behavior as "freedom of expression" while harassing and stalking others, and notes that Caryma’s false police reports and groundless peace bond applications have led to baseless criminal charges that are eventually dismissed.
The Author's Exploitation by Caryma and Adam Lee Wasserman
Elisa describes being manipulated and exploited by Caryma and her partner "Lee", who engaged in coercive control and attempted to silence the author through unlawful means.
Elisa struggles to understand how Caryma, who was once her best friend and closest confidante, could suddenly turn against her and start terrorizing her with wellness checks and false police reports, at the behest of her controlling and revengeful boyfriend "Lee".
"Lee" is described as a man with a history of exploiting and extorting women, who has a controlling influence over Caryma, dictating her actions, coercing her, and urging her to make false police reports against her critics and perceived enemies.
Elisa reveals that "Lee" was later identified as Adam Lee Wasserman, who was arrested by Peel Police on May 25, 2025, and is facing criminal charges.
The author shares her research on Adam Wasserman's background, including his family history and potential motivations for his behavior, while reflecting on her own experiences with trauma and abuse.
Adam Lee Wasserman's Background and Charges
Adam Lee Wasserman has been charged with obstructing police under Criminal Code section 129 (a) for allegedly giving false information during a police investigation. This is not his first arrest, with Quebec court documents indicating he has previously faced criminal charges.
Caryma had reported Elisa to police for "stalking" and "collaborating with harassers" after Elisa guessed Adam's name, while falsely claiming in correspondence with police that she has no knowledge of any Adam W.
Elisa reflects on her traumatic experiences, including being used and discarded by Caryma, a lawyer who profited from her work and weaponized police to keep her silent, and how she is finding strength and resilience to overcome her struggles.
