The Law Society of Manitoba has authorized two charges of professional misconduct against Winnipeg lawyer Jay Prober for comments he made in the media about women who accused his client, Peter Nygard, of sexual assault. Allan says the comments Prober made are no better than what Nygard did to the alleged victims. A spokesperson for the law society stressed Prober has not been found guilty and that these are just charges. Allan worries Prober will decide to retire instead of going through the process and then the charges will go away. "It's important to remember that some of these victims in the Bahamas are children and they're certainly not capable of writing letters to the Manitoba Law Society."
