A look at the case at the heart of the Judge Robin Camp controversy
CALGARY — An inquiry committee of the Canadian Judicial Council has recommended federal Justice Robin Camp lose his job for asking a sexual assault complainant in a 2014 trial why she couldn’t keep her knees closed. The accused, Alexander Wagar, was acquitted by Camp, who was a provincial court judge at the time, but that decision was overturned.
Here is a look at some of the information the court heard at Wagar’s retrial in November:
— Wagar and the complainant, who can’t be named under a publication ban, were at a house party in Calgary on Dec. 14, 2011. The woman, who is now 24, told court she had been living in homeless shelters and had alcohol and drug addictions.
— She said Wagar had been “flirty” and was making it clear he wanted to have sex with her. “He was telling me I was skinny and pretty and had a nice body,” she testified.
