It has been 14 years since activist and survivor Tamara Burke, first posted about her experience using the phrase #MeToo. One of the goals arising out of the MeToo Movement was the development of tools and resources to facilitate the ability of individuals to be able to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse and be able to navigate any accompanying legal processes. In the regulatory context, sexual abuse allegations are among the most sensitive and serious allegations investigated or prosecuted. They also attract the greatest scrutiny and often result in the most contentious substantive and procedural issues.
Legislation governing professionals and regulators has undergone significant amendments in recent years specifically to address these issues, the impact of which has been considered in recent case law. As such, the law and best practices governing sexual abuse proceedings
continues to evolve, and every aspect of such proceedings must be approached with care. This session will examine five unique aspects of sexual abuse proceedings.
