Supreme Court rules rape shield rules do not cover trafficking and sexual services trials

Canadian Lawyer reports that the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously ruled in R. v. A.M. that the rape shield rules do not apply to human trafficking or sexual services offences. Courts may therefore admit evidence of a complainant’s sexual history in those trials, for charges laid before the Protecting Victims Act took effect.
