Survivor Closes Ontario Police College After Harassing Officer Comments

A Canadian woman who has repeatedly spoken to the Ontario Police College about sexual assault survivor experiences has severed ties with the college after anonymous officer feedback in 2024 deemed her “far too damaged” and “revictimized.” She stopped attending the 10‑day mandatory sexual‑assault investigator training, which she delivered 20 times across the province. The comments, received during sessions in Whitby (Durham Region) and Windsor, sparked accusations of bias that could compromise investigations. The college director, Paul Hebert, acknowledged the complaint in August but has yet to respond. Experts warn such bias risks cases being dismissed; Statistics Canada notes only 36 % of reported assaults lead to charges, with 6 % of victims reporting to police. The survivor demands accountability and an apology.
