The Mens Rea for Sexual Assault
Presented by the CBA Alberta Criminal Justice North Section
On Demand. Originally presented on May 21, 2024.
NOTE: No recorded video; only materials are available.
More than 40 years after the offence of sexual assault was enacted, there remains significant confusion as to the basic elements of this offence. Paul M Alexander has been a working Crown Attorney for 25 years in Toronto. Based on work that started with preparation for a pre-charge conference on a sexual assault trial, he, along with Professor DeLuca, published an article on the mens rea for sexual assault called “The Mens Rea for Sexual Assault: How Jury Instructions Are Getting it Wrong” (2019) Man LJ 39. Mr. Alexander will present on that paper and comment on the subsequent jurisprudence.
