Yesterday, the Supreme Court of Canada released R. v. R.V., 2019 SCC 41<\/a>. This was yet another important decision concerning the scope and application of our ‘rape shield’ laws – the third such decision in just over two months.  The majority decision again emphasizes that judges, crowns, and defence counsel must approach the admission of evidence of a complainant’s sexual history with great care.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEAF welcomes the SCC’s recognition that sexual assault trials raise unique challenges both in guarding against the intrusion of inappropriate stereotypes and myths that undermine a trial’s integrity and in striking the appropriate balance between the societal interests of the complainant and the accused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEAF will continue to fight for the equality, privacy and security rights of complainants, as we have done for over thirty years. We welcome your support of these efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
