I can't confirm the statement by a previous witness. I can talk about the data that I have access to and can analyze, and I can show you the outcomes of criminal court cases that have child victims for those offences that I can identify. That doesn't include sexual assault, because in sexual assault you can't identify the age of the victim from the Criminal Code section. That's the way the data are collected in criminal court—by section, subsection, and paragraph--so it's not possible to differentiate a young victim from an adult victim by using the court data.
On February 16th, 2011. See this statement in context.
