A good piece of perspective here from another CBC reporter on speaking with a criminal lawyer ("Grant" in the quote below):


Grant says the defence has an uphill battle having to explain how it is that a group of men showed up in the hotel room, particularly if it was unsolicited and unwanted.
The optics of how intimidating that would be for a lone woman also make it difficult, she says.

“So there's gonna have to be an explanation for that, and there's going to have to be an explanation that doesn't suggest that she was not consenting to this. … I think that the counter -narrative has to be, ‘Well, she wanted the other people to be there and they're clearly trying to build on that.’”



And agreed with the others...the story is a very hard one to read. I hope the female (especially) reporters covering it are getting good support for their well-being and mental health.
