Surviving the Hockey Canada trial
explicitTwo extraordinary guests join Kristi to take you through one of the biggest scandals in Canadian sports history. They know what it means to survive not only sexual assault - but the trial itself. And you probably know their stories: J.B. - aka the "Ottawa woman" who testified against former Canadian musician Jacob HoggardKelly Favro - survivor and advocate from British Columbia who helped re-write Canada's publication ban laws. As the country reacts to the Hockey Canada trial verdicts delivered last week, J.B. and Kelly share what they saw unfolding, how it mirrors their own experiences, and what the public needs to understand about what victim-complainant “E.M.” may be living through. They also share eye-opening details about shocking courtroom tactics they've endured, and challenge us to rethink what justice really means. Part 2 will be available in the next few weeks. This is heavy stuff. Content Warning: While not the focus of this episode, there is brief mention of graphic details of sexual assault, and mention of suicidal thoughts.
