Among Federal Court Justice Robin Camp's remarks during a 2014 sexual assault trial, according to a notice of allegations posted on the Canadian Judicial Council website:"Why couldn't you just keep your knees together? He also made "stereotypical assumptions about how someone confronted with sexual assault would or would not behave." During the proceeding, Camp's daughter, who said she herself is a rape victim, testified that her father's comments were "disgraceful." Camp also has gone through mentoring, counseling about how victims of abuse respond to trauma, and a crash course on the history and current state of sexual assault law. Records say Camp did not receive any training or judicial education on sexual assault law or how to preside over sexual assault trials.
