Hydro One says it has rehired a Toronto engineer after he was caught on video defending the on-air sexual harassment of CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt during a live report at BMO Field this spring.

Shawn Simoes lost his job as an engineer this May after Hydro One said he violated its employee code of conduct.

Today the company said the matter was, “resolved through the arbitration process during which the company made its views very clear.”

Social media tips had identified Simoes as one of several hecklers caught on video hurling obscenities at CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt.

Hunt fought back by questioning the men about their conduct, but the video shows the men dismissing her questions.

Hunt confirmed via Twitter that Hydro One let her know in advance that he had been rehired.
