Sex assault law training now mandated for new Ontario judges

[Mormolyce]

It's revolting and astonishing how often I read an article about some dinosaur judge making an insane ruling in a sexual assault case.

Some of these far left ideas require mandatory reeducation camps for judges to understand, either that or lobotomies

Yeah those crazy left wing ideas like it's not the rape victim's fault.

[oxymoronic]

There is never a circumstance where ANYONE asking a victim "why didn't you close your legs" is appropriate. Because it's a nonsense question. If the judge wants to gather information or check to see if the story is true there are ways to do so without asking bullshit questions.

Although I can't say I'm surprise you are defending this. I'm sure she asked for it because her clothes were too revealing or something. Right?

how is it victim blaming if the guilt is yet to be determined? you mean you want me to go into every case thinking the suspect is guilty?

That's strange. I though they taught torts in law school.

If law would just be static and never change...

yeah sure. Ignore my point to play semantics. Let me know when you have a real argument for when asking someone who claims they were sexually assaulting if they thought about keeping their legs together makes any actual legal sense.
