HALIFAX — A former sex researcher has told a Nova Scotia court she doesn’t believe that a licence plate bearing the surname of a retiree — “Grabher” — would promote sexual violence against women, as the provincial government has alleged.
“A licence plate on the road is not going to be a risk factor as to whether someone commits and offence,” said Soh, who has a PhD in psychology from York University and describes herself as an expert in treating sexual offenders. A stocky, grey-haired man, Grabher listened intently Wednesday as Soh testified. She spent most of the day on the stand during the first day of the hearing before Justice Darlene Jamieson.
Townsend also took issue with a 20-page report Soh prepared for the court, citing a number of assertions that he said were not supported by citations pointing to peer-reviewed research. In March 2017, a government spokesman said the plate wasn’t related to obscene comments made by Donald Trump in 2005 and released during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, in which Trump said he grabbed women by the genitals.
He should get a MANBABY vanity plate instead.
AKimCampbell I disagree. This seems to reference one of the worst things ever said by a president of the United States.
AKimCampbell 'unless they were anti-social and already predisposed to such behaviour' Isn't that kinda the pt? Can I get a plate that says 'F&*KHIM' then? JeezeLouise ppl - have you NOTHING else in your bag of names you could use?
AKimCampbell This is Nova Scotia. It's probably Gaelic and pronounced 'gravver'.
AKimCampbell 😒
Justin Trudeau grabbed her and the media gave him a pass... just sayin.
Basic principle: variable tint lenses are creepy.
It is to snowflakes and the constantly offended by everything crowd.
The taxpayer money the government is spending to fight this is such a waste. That money could actually be used to help sexual assault victims!
You have to have to be extremely emotionally ill to be offended by a licence plate.
Political correctness run amok
