Cette affaire concernait la validit\u00e9 de la d\u00e9fense de croyance sinc\u00e8re mais erron\u00e9e au consentement dans les proc\u00e8s pour agression sexuelle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FAEJ est intervenu devant la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Percival Whitley, Timothy Mowers et un troisi\u00e8me homme ont \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnus coupables de viol en bande d’une femme. Ils ont fait valoir qu’ils croyaient \u00e0 tort que la femme avait consenti parce qu’elle ne s’\u00e9tait pas oppos\u00e9e ou n’avait pas offert de r\u00e9sistance physique. La Cour d’appel de l’Ontario a rejet\u00e9 leurs appels. Ils ont ensuite interjet\u00e9 appel devant la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argumentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le FAEJ a soutenu que la d\u00e9fense de croyance erron\u00e9e au consentement ne pouvait pas \u00eatre utilis\u00e9e lorsque l’accus\u00e9 avait commis une erreur sur les exigences l\u00e9gales du consentement – par exemple, lorsque l’accus\u00e9 croyait que le d\u00e9faut de dire non signifiait que la plaignante avait consenti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e9sultat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La Cour supr\u00eame n’a pas examin\u00e9 directement si la d\u00e9fense de croyance erron\u00e9e au consentement aurait d\u00fb \u00eatre invoqu\u00e9e en l’esp\u00e8ce. Au lieu de cela, la Cour a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que, m\u00eame si la d\u00e9fense aurait d\u00fb \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au jury, leur verdict d\u00e9montrait qu’ils auraient rejet\u00e9 l’argument. En cons\u00e9quence, la Cour a rejet\u00e9 l’appel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FAEJ remercie Chantal Tie, Diane Oleskiw et Laurie Joe, avocates dans cette affaire, ainsi que Catharine Aitken, agente d’Ottawa pour le FAEJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
