Alberta judge criticized in sexual assault case takes early retirement

This judge was criticized in 2014 for acquitting a man in a sexual assault case by the Alberta Court of Appeal. He chose to take an early retirement at the end of 2016 (2-3 years after the Court of Appeal criticized him). It seems the CBC is trying to draw a link between his overturned decision and his choice 2-3 years later to take a $142,000 pension.

A judge who came under fire from Alberta's appeal court for ruling a rape complainant in a sexual assault case consented after tiring from fighting off her attacker has decided to take early retirement.

In 2014, the Alberta Court of Appeal criticized Justice Kirk Sisson, of the Court of Queen's Bench in Red Deer, for acquitting a suspect in a 2013 sexual assault case.

Court heard the woman told the suspect on numerous occasions that she did not want to engage in any sexual activity.

He persisted despite her protests. After struggling and resisting his advances for 20 minutes, she realized he was not going to take no for an answer.

"She testified that she gave in because of his persistence, and to get it over with. In other words, she finally decided that she had enough and gave into him," wrote Sisson in his ruling.

"Consequently, the Crown has failed to prove an essential element of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt, that's lack of consent."

The Sisson case is just one of a number of high-profile cases that has put the Alberta judiciary in the spotlight.

A Canadian Judicial Council panel recommended last month that Justice Robin Camp should lose his job for his handling of a 2014 sexual assault trial.

Camp called the complainant, an indigenous woman who was 19 years old and homeless at the time of the alleged assault, "the accused" throughout the trial — a phrase he repeated during a judicial council disciplinary hearing before quickly correcting himself.

He also told the young woman "pain and sex sometimes go together" and asked why she couldn't just "keep her knees together."

Camp acquitted Alexander Wagar, but the verdict was overturned on appeal and a new trial was ordered. Testimony in the retrial wrapped up in November.

Provincial Chief Judge Terrence Matchett is also reviewing how two other Alberta provincial judges handled recent sexual assault cases.

In June 2015, Judge Pat McIlhargey acquitted a 16-year-old boy accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in a park because the girl "did not scream, she did not run for help."

In the other case, Judge Michael Savaryn acquitted a 15-year-old boy who grabbed the breasts and buttocks of a girl, also 15, in a high school hallway and tried to kiss her.

Savaryn wrote the complainant "tried so hard to laugh it all off that I do not believe she was successful in communicating her discomfort."

The acquittal was overturned by a higher court judge and the boy was convicted.

I don't see the link between the overturned decision and the choice to take a great pension. But I do see the opportunity to take shots at the "patriarchy" [Image: confused.gif]
