I think clearly the example you give would be misinformation, but you have to put yourself in the position of a busy Crown counsel who's deciding whether to lay a charge. A young woman comes forward and says she was sexually assaulted by a very intoxicated man, and that's all she knows. She doesn't know how much he consumed or what he consumed. Crown counsel has to make a decision on whether we are going to lay charges in that circumstance. I'm not sure that in many of the cases they will.
We already know that sexual assault is vastly undercharged in this country, so I think what was overblown was the degree to which this was in fact misinformation. We don't know the impact of this decision, and we don't know how we're going to study it if the consequence is that charges are never laid in the first place.
