Galloway success disappeared 'almost overnight' following assault claims: publisher
Several defendants have settled and apologized as Galloway continues to seek damages over allegations a judge found unsubstantiated.
- Former University of British Columbia creative writing chair Galloway is suing a former student for defamation, alleging her unsubstantiated assault allegations destroyed his career and earning potential.
- After the University fired Galloway following the claims, several original defendants in the 2018 lawsuit settled with him and offered public apologies regarding the unproven allegations.
- Lawyer Dan Burnett argues the allegations derailed Galloway's trajectory after his success with "The Cellist of Sarajevo," while the court learned earlier this month the former student no longer asserts he assaulted her.
- Margaret Atwood recently wrote opinion articles in The Globe and Mail supporting Galloway, likening testimony about the alleged 2011 incident to an "Aha!" moment in a Sherlock Holmes novel.
- The case has drawn intense Canadian literary attention, though the accuser is not testifying due to mental health struggles, following a 2016 open letter from authors calling for a University investigation.
