It is the English mediaThe Globe and Mailwhich secured a short exclusive interview with the victim, identified by the pseudonym EM, on Monday.
Calling herself “vulnerable and exposed” since the scandal was revealed in broad daylight, the young woman is living badly with the extent that the file has taken on the public square.
“It is something for which I never wanted to accentuate the attention, she mentioned to the Globe and Mail. I just wanted there to be consequences to actions and some accountability.”
The victim never wanted the agreement between Hockey Canada and her to be publicized, we can read.
“It was difficult to see the events being exposed one piece at a time,” also noted EM
First having to deal with this thorny case concerning a group sexual assault allegedly committed in 2018, Hockey Canada must also manage another similar incident which allegedly occurred in 2003.
Just recently, it was revealed before a parliamentary committee that a special Hockey Canada fund dedicated to settling sexual abuse cases was used to make nine payments totaling $7.6 million for actions committed since 1989.
