What is the relationship between a victim of sexual assault and her abuser's mobile phone?
Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R.v. Jackson, 2019 NSSC 202 (CanLII):
I note that I place no weight on the amount of contact between the two phones with regards to the veracity of these allegations as there is “no inviolable rule on how people who are victims of trauma like sexual assault will behave” (R v. D.D. 2000 SCC 43, at para. 65).
