After the rise of the #MeToo movement, activists noticed an increase in a new tool to fight against allegations of sexual assault. Some men accused of misconduct have turned to defamation lawsuits as a way to protect their career and reputation. Does Canadian law make it too easy for men to sue their accusers? Is this the new avenue to litigate sexual assault cases? Mandi Gray explores these questions in her new book, "Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Mandi Gray, author of Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law. #MeToo made headlines around the world in 2017 and thousands publicly shared their experiences of sexual victimization. The “me too” movement was first established in 2006 by American activist Tarana Burke. #MeToo has been called a watershed moment for gender equality, giving a powerful platform to sexual violence survivors.  And many of us have experienced sexual assault and harassment in our lives. In Canada, 30% of women over age 15 report experiencing sexual assault at least once. The rate of sexual assault against Indigenous women and women with disabilities is even higher.  But some survivors who said “me too” found themselves subject to defamation lawsuits that, in some cases, might drag on for years. What are the legal matters behind these civil suits?  Our guest Mandi Gray is an assistant professor at Trent University. She has been involved in anti-violence activism since 2008. Her debut book, Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law, critically examines the growing trend of men accused of sexual violence suing their accusers.  A note about content: this episode addresses gender-based violence.  Relevant links: yescountmein.ca  Episode ⁠Transcripts⁠  Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review this podcast and share it with others.

A few days ago, we recognized International Women's Day. Every year we shine a spotlight on the continuing realities of gender-based discrimination and gender-based violence worldwide. So on this episode, we are so glad to have Dr. Mandi Gray. She has just released a new book “Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law,” which unpacks the ways that systems of power - specifically the criminal legal system that is “composed of patriarchal and colonial laws” – protect the privileged. In our conversation, we explore the ways that abusive men and abusive institutions punish women for speaking up about their experiences of abuse, and how they they also punish women for providing support to women who have experienced sexual abuse. This includes campus sexual violence, and the repercussions faced by students and faculty members who break the silence.

On this episode of Slut or Nut: The Podcast, Kelly chats with retired Ontario Judge, writer and teacher Marvin Zuker about his verdict and sentencing in the rape trial of R. vs Ururyar, the case featured in Slut or Nut the Diary of a Rape Trial. Zuker is also in the documentary film. Kelly asks him “Should judges be feminists?” The answer isn’t so simple. One can’t help but think that part of the process is broken. The beautiful verdict that Zuker wrote was overturned in the appeal court. The man accused of raping Mandi Gray never did community service, and he never served his 18-month sentence. He never had restrictions about being around females and drinking alcohol. Instead, he got a one-year protection order - stipulating that he would not go near Mandi Gray- also known in Canada as a Peace Bond. She could have gotten the same thing just from a stalking charge, or a harassment or trespassing charge. Not only did he not serve his sentence, but the maximum time the peace bond could be legally applied, was only for 1 year. Now that year is up. Now Mandi faces see him around the corner, in the hallways, and at the food court of her workplace, as he has also returned to work there. So I ask you, if the system is broken, which it appears it is, what now for victims of sexual assault? What now for the average person wanting to help prevent sexual assault? Changing the legal system sounds impossibly hard, but what is the alternative? Protests? Doxing? Public Shaming? Just what is the point of spending hours reporting to the police, going through a trial, having your personal details laid public, and possibly missing hours of work - just to have the person who assaulted you return to work with you a year later after the peace bond expires. And why can’t we have peace bonds that last forever? Until the other person dies? Why would you need to go through the bureaucratic headache of renewing a protective order every year? I just don’t get it….

On this episode of Slut or Nut: The Podcast, Kelly chats with Jane Doe and Mandi Gray about why judicial reform isn’t working for sexual assault survivors, why we need survivor pensions, and what not to say to your victim support worker. Mandi and Jane Doe are also featured in the documentary film- Slut or Nut: The Diary of a Rape Trial. Jane Doe cannot use her real name due to a publication ban on her name as a result of testimony in the trial of the man who sexually assaulted her and with survivor, researcher and writer Mandi Gray. You may recognize the voices of both women as they are both featured in the documentary Slut or Nut the Diary of a Rape Trial. Since the recording of this episode- Mandi Gray has been sued for speaking in support of another survivor of sexual. Sued for supporting another survivor? Sued for tweeting? Sued for supporting a friend? What? Yes. So in Vancouver writer and former University of British Columbia professor Stephen Galloway has sued twenty different women, mostly students he has never met, including Mandi for tweeting and talking about him in their pursuit of supporting their friend who alleged that Mr. Galloway sexually assaulted her while she was his student. He is suing the women for defamation of his character for their tweets and public comments surrounding the case. This lawsuit is going to trial and the women being sued, mostly students, survivors of sexual assault and activists are now facing legal costs and must hire lawyers to represent them in British Columbia, where most of them do not even live. So next time someone wonders why a woman doesn’t report. Well, you get the picture. Because if your rapist isn’t found guilty- which only 6 out of every 1,000 are... Then homeboy can just turn around and sue you. True Story.
