Apparently the same judge:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmon...peal-1.4091641

An Edmonton superior court judge has been accused of relying on rape "myths and stereotypes" to acquit a 55-year-old man of sexually assaulting his stepdaughter.

Girl said assaults went on for 6 years

When she testified at her stepfather's trial, she described her relationship with him as "OK, I guess." She had also told police the two of them "kind of" got along.

That didn't make sense to Clackson. He said that based on "logic and common sense," he expected a victim of sexual abuse would demonstrate some sign of being sexually abused, or at the very least would try to avoid the person who was abusing her.

Clackson did not hear from any experts before making his decision.
