Galloway Defamation Trial Hears of 'Inflated and Outrageous' Email Rhetoric
A former student said the email used inflated rhetoric and urged anonymous tips as the trial examines how complaints against Galloway were gathered.
- On Monday, the ex-husband of an accuser testified in British Columbia Supreme Court that she claimed author Steven Galloway grabbed her by the neck on his sailboat in 2011, but refused to report the alleged incident to police.
- Galloway, a former UBC creative writing professor and bestselling author, was suspended in November 2015 and later dismissed following an internal investigation into misconduct allegations, though he was never criminally charged.
- During testimony, the ex-husband recounted that she refused police involvement and told him she intended to "destroy him," though she also declined his offer to confront Galloway about what she called "a pass at my wife."
- Chelsea Rooney, a former student tasked with gathering complaints against Galloway, issued a public apology this month and admitted she had "no information" that the allegations against the author were true.
- Cara Woodruff, a UBC graduate, testified this month she felt "blindsided" by the allegations and was unclear if a criminal investigation existed, expressing regret that her conduct was "serious and harmful" to Galloway.
