Tim Bray tells us that a victim of rape was jailed while her assailent got
off scott free.  This statement is very inaccurate.  A woman made a complaint
of rape against two men.  She then refused to testisfy stating that
threats had been made against her.  She was then jailed for contempt of court
(quite rightly in my opinion, the case was discussed on the net (legal and
women among other places) a while back).
   Tim we have this quaint custom in Ontario of considering someone innocent
until proven guilty.  A rapist may or may not have gotten off scott free
but as there was no trial it is difficult for someone like me who was not
a witness to know.  If your situation is different please contact
the Ontario Provincial Police.
