I hope he sues all three women since it is unlikely they will be charged with perjury.

A topless woman was dragged from a crowd of protesters on Thursday outside the downtown Toronto courthouse where a judge acquitted Jian Ghomeshi of sexual assault and choking charges.
Crown attorney Michael Callaghan was outside the court, commenting to reporters about the verdict when a topless protester stormed into the wall of microphones, shouting “Ghomeshi guilty,” according to footage of the incident.
Police officers pulled the woman away from the crowd, and she ended up on the ground. A swarm of media surrounded the woman as police struggled to handcuff her and pull her up from the cold, wet ground. They managed to lead her up the stairs and into the courthouse.
“We believe survivors,” the protesters chanted.
The demonstration was organized by the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre in support of all survivors of sexual assault, and the three women who testified against Ghomeshi.
In a Facebook post Thursday, FEMEN Canada — a branch of the international activist group known for staging topless protests — said the woman outside court was one of its members.

Roosh I am ashamed that you would insult that innocent pig by comparing her to that feminist hambeast. The pig is far more reasonable than that feminist "thing" you compared her to. Furthermore the pig is far better company.

I think that's up for debate. Every public figure essentially has to put on the facade of being a feminist whether they are or not.

So let me understand this. Ghomeshi was acquitted because his super hot, outrageously sexy, stilettoed lawyer was able to discredit these three, barely-functioning losers. The verdict was reasonable. Beyond reasonable doubt.
What's the problem here?? Isn't this a just result?

One of L.R.'s clear memories was simply, and demonstrably, wrong. She testified at length about Mr. Ghomeshi's bright yellow Volkswagen "Love Bug" or "Disney car". This was a significant factor in her impression that Mr. Ghomeshi was a "charming" and nice person. However, I find as a fact that Mr. Ghomeshi did not acquire the Volkswagen Beetle that she described until seven months after the event she was remembering.
In a case which turns entirely on the reliability of the evidence of the complainant, this otherwise, perhaps, innocuous error takes on greater significance. This was a central feature of her assessment of Mr. Ghomeshi as a "nice guy" and a safe date. Her description of his car was an important feature of her recollection of the first date. And yet we know that this memory is simply wrong. The impossibility of this memory makes one seriously question, what else might be honestly remembered by her and yet actually be equally wrong? This demonstrably false memory weighs in the balance against the general reliability of L.R.’s evidence as a whole.
Quote:Quote:
L.R. was firm in her evidence that following the second incident she chose never to have any further contact with Mr. Ghomeshi. She testified that every time she heard Mr. Ghomeshi on TV or radio, she had to turn it off. The sound of Mr. Ghomeshi’s voice and the sight of his face made her relive the trauma of the assault. L.R. could not even listen to the new host of Q because of the traumatizing association with Mr. Ghomeshi.
[38]
L.R.’s evidence in this regard is irreconcilable with subsequently proven facts. She sent a flirtatious email to Mr. Ghomeshi a year later. In her email, L.R calls Mr. Ghomeshi “Playboy"; a reference to his show. She refers, oddly, to him ploughing snow, naked. She says it was "good to see you again." She is either watching him, or watching his show. "Your show is still great," she writes. She invites him to review a video she made and provides a hot link embedded into the body of the message. L.R. provides him with her email address and phone number so he can reply. Despite her invitation, she received no response. This is not an email that L.R. could have simply forgotten about and it reveals conduct that is completely inconsistent with her assertion that the mere thought of Jian Ghomeshi traumatized her.
[39]
Six months later, L.R. sent another email to Mr. Ghomeshi. In it she said, "Hi Jian, I've been watching you …" (here expressly referencing another TV show), "hope all is well." She attached to this email a picture entitled "beach1.jpg", which is a picture of her, reclined on a sandy beach, wearing a red string bikini. This is not an email that she could have simply forgotten about. It reveals conduct completely inconsistent with her assertion that the mere thought of Mr. Ghomeshi traumatized her.
[40]
The negative impact that this after the fact conduct has on L.R.’s credibility is surpassed by the fact that she never disclosed any of this to the police or to the Crown.
[41]
It was only after she was confronted in cross-examination with the actual emails and attachment that L.R. suddenly remembered not just attempting to contact Mr. Ghomeshi but also that it was part of a plan. She said that her emails were sent as “bait” to try to draw out Mr. Ghomeshi to contact her directly so that she could confront him with what he had done to her.
[42]
I suppose this explanation could be true, except that this spontaneous explanation of a plan to bait Mr. Ghomeshi is completely inconsistent with her earlier stance that she wanted nothing to do with him, and that she was traumatized by the mere thought of him. I am unable to satisfactorily reconcile her evidence on these points.
[43]
The expectation of how a victim of abuse will, or should, be expected to behave must not be assessed on the basis of stereotypical models. Having said that, I have no hesitation in saying that the behaviour of this complainant is, at the very least, odd. The factual inconsistencies in her evidence cause me to approach her evidence with great scepticism.
[44]
L.R.'s evidence in-chief seemed rational and balanced. Under cross-examination, the value of her evidence suffered irreparable damage. Defence counsel's questioning revealed inconsistencies, and incongruous and deceptive conduct. L.R. has been exposed as a witness willing to withhold relevant information from the police, from the Crown and from the Court. It is clear that she deliberately breached her oath to tell the truth. Her value as a reliable witness is diminished accordingly.
