‘Very tough girl’ was shaking after alleged gang rape, doctor tells trial
HALIFAX — The family doctor of a young woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by British sailors testified Wednesday that the complainant was shaking and upset when she examined her hours after the alleged incident.
“She told me … that she was gang raped, and began to cry,” the Halifax physician told Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
She testified she has been the woman’s family doctor her whole life, but their relationship evolved after the complainant lost a parent.
The doctor said she messaged the young woman on April 9, 2015 — the day she went to 12 Wing Shearwater to watch the Royal Navy hockey team play a game — because it was a tough anniversary for the complainant.
