1. terrible post and title.
2. Good article though:

Summary, girl claims she was drugged/drink was spiked. Conveniently the drugs were out of her system when she was tested the next day. Her story reads like a movie script, which is probably where she got the idea.

Interesting, but it says one of the doctors also pleaded not guilty to drugging and sexually assaulting a former girlfriend in 2003. So there are 2 isolated incidents with different victims in which the one doctor has been accused...

This story is confusing. The alleged incident was supposed to have happened in February 2011, yet is only being tried now -- even though there was a drug test done the next day (negative) and a "rape kit" supposedly showing their DNA on her body also from the next day? But it took more than 3 years to bring it to trial? Something here doesn't add up.

Needless to say, the story takes their guilt for granted.

FWIW I think there is a high probability of this being a genuine case, rather than a false accusation. But in the vast majority of cases were a girl thinks she has been drugged, she is in fact just very drunk. It's been proven with drug tests. The drug insinuation is made to make her feel better about herself and of course reduce her culpability. In these cases there is usually no specific accused man. She just maintains that "someone" at the bar/club/house party must have spiked her drink. But IRL the number of spiked drinks out there is minuscule. Contrary to what many feminists think 99.999% of men just aren't like that. Having sex, or whatever you'd call it, with a comatose drugged out woman isn't a turn on.

In this specific case the crown prosecution service has been convinced that there is something to the claim, which, despite the hysteria over "white knighting", they wouldn't be for some random drunk girl with vague claims.

It never ceases to amaze me that doctors mess up their lives in this way. I mean, there is so much at stake. All the years in medical school, all the future income and prestige ahead to look forward to when practicing as a doctor throughout your life. And they mess it up by doing stupid things like this. If the doctor here is found guilty his medical practice is finished for life. It's crazy that any doctors and other professionals would risk their livelihoods in this fashion.

The judge gave her decision this morning.

Shockingly, justice was served and this ho didn't get away with putting these good doctors behind bars.

Full Article:

Two doctors have been found not guilty of sexually assaulting and drugging a 23-year-old medical student three years ago in a downtown Toronto hotel room.
The lengthy ruling was delivered by Superior Court Justice Julie Thorburn Thursday morning before a packed courtroom.
Thorburn said she was not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the woman was drugged and did not consent to sexual acts on Feb. 13, 2011 with Dr. Amitabh Chauhan and Dr. Suganthan Kayilasanathan when the three returned to a hotel room after drinking at a club.
The woman testified during the five-week trial that her vision suddenly blacked out while at the club, but that in flashes of memory she clearly recalls being vaginally and anally penetrated by the men in the hotel room.
She testified that she felt extremely fatigued and unable to move while the sexual assault occurred.
Both Chauhan and Kayilasanathan, 36, admitted to some consensual sexual contact with the woman that night, but deny having vaginal or anal sex with her.
“There is no evidence to corroborate (the woman’s) testimony that she was drugged or sexually assaulted,” Thorburn found in her reasons. She also found there was no evidence of a plan to drug and sexually assault the woman.
Blood, urine and hair samples, all taken more than 12 hours after the alleged sexual assault occurred, showed no evidence of drugging, she said.
In security video of the woman leaving the club and arriving at the hotel, her motor skills do not appear impaired, Thorburn said.
Thorburn also found that the woman willingly consumed a “considerable amount” of alcohol with the two doctors. She may have consumed enough alcohol to lead to “a blackout and flashes, loss of memory or lack of social inhibitions without showing outward signs of impairment.”

Seems reasonable. Hopefully the baying hounds leave them alone afterward.

Let's hope she doesn't stumble upon any other movies which might give her some more bad ideas.

That original article is a hatchet job, is the "Toronto Sun" actually considered a legitimate news source for the city? Because the article reads like something out of Jezebel.

"TORONTO - She can’t move.

The medical student is hovering over her naked body in a Sheraton Centre hotel room and she is watching herself being raped and she can’t fight and she can’t make them stop. She can’t even process what has happened that night."

An entire article that reads like a third person account, reciting her story as if "guilty" was a forgone conclusion. Shouldn't there be an "allegedly" or two in their somewhere?

Sun newspapers in Canada are considered tabloids. Think a line walking Daily Mail.
