Connexions CalendarWorkshop: Consent and sexual assault lawMarch 17, 2015 Reports of sexual assault have appeared frequently in the news over the past few months. One of the most memorable cases can be attributed to former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi’s sexual assault scandal. As of January 8 this year, Ghomeshi is charged with seven assault counts and one count of overcoming resistance by choking. Prior to Ghomeshi’s first appearance in court, questions of consent, as well as questions of why most victims and survivors of sexual violence (the majority of them are women) do not report to the police, have overwhelmed public debate on the allegations against Ghomeshi’s sexual conduct.
