during the writing of this book, as well as their keen expertise in the world of publish-

ing. In particular, many thanks to Danann Hawes, Heather Gough, Natalie Berchem,

Erin Moore, and Cindy Fujimoto. We would also like to thank the general editors,

Brian Greenspan and Enzo Rondinelli, for continuing to have confidence in us as

authors and for their invaluable suggestions throughout the process.

We are indebted to the talented individuals who wrote and updated the following

sections of the book in very short time frames:

spective”);

2. Cecilia Hageman (Chapter 10, Forensic Evidence);

3. Meaghan Cunningham (Chapter 13, Evidence of Other Sexual Activity:

Section276);

4. Colleen McKeown ( Chapter 15, Historical Oences); and

5. Dawne Way (Chapter 17, Representing the Victim in a Sexual Oence

Proceeding).

We are grateful to past and present members of Ontario’s Sexual Violence

Advisory Group (Justice Deborah Calderwood, Justice Kimberley Crosbie, Meaghan

Cunningham, Tammy D’Eri, Teresa Donnelly, Paul Larsh, Monica Mackenzie,

Richard Nathanson, Dana Peterson, Louise Tansey, and Neville Golwalla), all of

whom have demonstrated a high level of commitment, inspiration, and excellence in

this area of law, and whose work has been invaluable. Additionally, we would like to

acknowledge the helpful research papers (unpublished) of Nader Hasan and Pam

Hrick (“Third-Party Records”) and Jason Nicol (“Crown Response to Accused’s

Evidence of Good Character”). We further extend thanks to Megan Savard for her

insight and editing, and to Gerald Chan, Nathan Gorham, David Tanovich, and Peter

And thank you to Marie Henein for reviewing the book and oering such insightful

nings, weekends, and holidays.
