This is nothing short of disgusting. This teacher was put on trial needlessly
After that the crown and cops decided she must be lying so they brought a
charge of perjury. On top of that the ex husband was called as a witness and
the divorce they had was a mess. In the end the Judge looked at the evidence
and decided the woman was telling the truth. She won the trial and the perjury
trial as well. When the crown keeps taking people to court and they lose more
than once the legal system should pay the defendants expenses maybe we
would have less of this nonsense. Or better still the kid who started it all should
pay, he after all was less than truthful
You got that right, even a naïve country bumpkin like myself, figured the little bastard was lying right from the get go. He claimed he had 200 "encounters" with her but was unaware of a large tattoo on her belly. (I emailed the Atty. General and told her Ms. Ashton should have her defense cost reimbursed, with a copy to the Premier and Eric Foster, my M.L.A.) It will be interesting to see the response I get. And NO, I do not know or have any connection to Ms. Ashton, just recognize reeking garbage.
I suppose if the little bastard was charged with public mischief at this point it would just amount to jumping from the frying pan into the fire!
That has nothing to do with the justice system, and everything to do with society. Narrow minded a$$holes who jump to the conclusion of guilt just because someone has been arrested or charged.
I suppose if you wanted to correctly assign blame, the media should shoulder about 75% of it. "Society" is a mixture running the whole gamut, they are what they are and some ain't too bright.
