He has been removed from cases involving sexual assault which is a step but dude should be removed entirely because if a judge can't make a ruling in a rape case that doesn't blame the survivor than is he really fit to make any other decision? He's already shown his misogyny and that his delicate morals get in the way.
The Canadian Judicial Panel is reviewing the complaints so thank you to everyone who has made their voices heard! It's mighty satisfying, no? Let's keep the ball rolling and continue to press for justice for the women who have suffered because Judge Dewar has deemed them guilty of inviting rape.
Sign this petition (over 600 signatures already!), email the CJP here, join this Facebook group and spread the word. Send the message that misogyny and rape-culture will not be tolerated.
*UPDATE*
The CBC has posted an article about a case of Dewar's in which he acquitted a man accused of molesting his 11/12 year old niece because of "slow reporting and returning to the environment in which the alleged incidents occurred are matters which could be inconsistent with the allegations". Yep, a child who takes awhile to report being raped by a trusted authority figure and doesn't leave her home because of the assaults should have her veracity questioned. Good call, Dewar. What a piece of human garbage. Fuck.
Double the efforts, gang.
