I am flabbergasted that the G&M continues to trot out this horrendous piece dressed up as 'investigative reporting' when it is in fact just an opinion piece.  There is little 'research' involved.  Rather it is collection of sketchy literature on the subject, as well as a compilation of 'expert' opinion from those with a stake in the 'sexual assault complainants must be believed' industry.  

There is always room for the police to revisit old files, and to improve on investigative techniques, but when all is said and done, the final proof is in the courts.  And, Canada's courts are showing again and again that if a complainant has no credibility, they are not going to convict.   Nor will they automatically imbue a complainant with credibility based simply on a one-sided story that is not supported by other evidence. 

this last point is what the whole series blithely skipped over, as well as not taking the time to ask Crown Counsel what goes into charge approval in these cases.
