Federal Court Judge Robin Camp was a provincial court judge in a case involving a 19-year-old woman who said she was raped over a sink during a house party.
Camp asked the victim "why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn't penetrate you" and "why couldn't you just keep your knees together?" He suggested if she moved her pelvis, she could have avoided him.
He also said, "wom[e]n want to have sex, particularly if they're drunk" and “sex and pain sometimes go together [...] that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
Camp has since apologized and said he didn't receive training on sex assault cases prior to the case, CNN reports.
The Canadian Judicial Council will decide if Camp will be dismissed over the comments. The story as reported is very limited and some details are deliberately not reported.
Just a thought.
