Description

*A note to listeners: Today’s episode deals with sexual violence inflicted on minors and won’t be suitable for all listeners.In 2006, RCMP Const. Joseph Kohut kicked down the door to his ex’s home in Prince George, B.C., and left with certain belongings. His ex said that one of the things Kohut took was a videotape showing him sexually harassing an underage Indigenous girl. Kohut had already been investigated for sexual misconduct after a local judge pled guilty to sexually assaulting several Indigenous minors. Kohut’s ex, also a Mountie, reported the alleged theft of evidence. So what happened next? Reporter Jessica McDiarmid tells the story of 16-years of entropy and indifference within the RCMP.  Host:  Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer)Guest: Jessica McDiarmid Further reading: Toronto Star investigation, by Jessica McDiarmid Sponsors: Oxio, Rakuten, Freshbooks If you value this podcast, Support us!
