EP#173 | Sexual Inactivity Evidence

In Episode 173 of Not on Record, Joseph and Diana dive into the Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision, a ruling that reshapes the handling of sexual history evidence in criminal trials. They break down how the Court’s clarification finally brings parity between Crown-led and defence-led evidence when it comes to sexual activity, inactivity, and even claims of virginity. This episode explores the practical impact of the ruling, the challenges it poses for trial preparation, and why the Crown must now apply the same rigorous procedures previously only imposed on the defence. Joseph and Diana unpack how this precedent-setting case could change the landscape of sexual assault trials in Canada.
