Very ugly treatment of assaulted women, Alberta.
That the men were found guilty is no consolation. In these cases the women should be able to give sworn statements and not be in court to face their assailant.
Do we hear more about sexual assault judgments out of Alberta because of increased transparency? I hope that's the case and not that judges are being poorly appointed.

Very ugly...I have two daughters living in Alberta, one can only hope this never happens to them or any others. IMO, the judges are totally responsible for this shameful treatment of victims.
ReplyDeleteYes they are and they are probably no better or worse than other places in Canada
