In an effort to keep track of the increasing number of legal decisions written by judges across Canada in sexual abuse and exploitation litigation, we have started compiling a centralized list in the table below. All citations are to CanLII – a free legal database maintained by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada that publishes decisions across Canada.
In some cases, we also provide our own written summary of the case using CanLII as our source.
