The family of a sexual assault victim who was jailed while giving evidence against her attacker — and has since died — is seeking to have a publication ban on her identity removed. “I want her to be known,” said the woman’s mother, speaking Tuesday outside the Edmonton Law Courts. “The name has to come out.”The mother was supported at court by her other children and daughter-in-law. The family said they don’t want what happened to be forgotten, and want the justice system held accountable. A lawyer representing the Journal and the CBC was also in court Tuesday requesting the publication ban be lifted.
