Final arguments in ‘knees together’ sexual assault retrial put off for a day
CALGARY — Closing arguments in a sexual assault retrial that was ordered after controversial comments by a Calgary judge have been delayed for a day.
Alexander Wagar was brought to court Monday for closing arguments, but the matter was put over until Tuesday afternoon. No reason was given.
Wagar, 29, was acquitted in 2014 by Judge Robin Camp, who ruled Wagar was a more credible witness than the 19-year-old complainant.
Camp called the complainant “the accused” throughout that trial and asked her why she couldn’t just keep her knees together. He also told her “pain and sex sometimes go together.”
