Comment: "we believe survivors”

 Justice William Horkins summed up the Jian Ghomeshi case, “Courts must guard against applying false stereotypes concerning the expected conduct of sexual assault complainants,” he said. But they must also “be vigilant in avoiding the equally dangerous false assumption that sexual assault complainants are always truthful.”
None of the three complainants were trustworthy. The stories they told to the police, the Crown and the court were “tainted by outright deception.” They were manipulative. All three complainants failed in their most elementary duty: to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
