Public photography happens all the time. None of the people shown front and center in security camera video on the news every night are convicted of anything. That's why it's on the news. The cops are looking for people. CBC has every right to publish the photos in connection to the POSSIBLE crime and investigation. Man, brutal lack of understanding here.

Is someone, realistically, ever going to get charged with sexual assault for something like this? Or as OMGWTF said, the similar behavior that happens in bars all the time? I'd say that in almost every case the answer is "probably not" - I don't know, though, I am neither with the RCMP nor do I practice criminal law

The problem most of the time is not proving the action happened, it's proving consent, or lack there of. Kissing someone on the cheek is not illegal. This however probably is.
