Galloway's accuser objected to his media depiction as 'benign lover'
The accuser said media coverage left out sexual-assault claims as Galloway publicly described a two-year affair, court testimony showed.
- In British Columbia Supreme Court, defendant Mandi Gray testified about a 2016 email from Galloway's accuser, who complained that media coverage of his affair admission left her feeling he was being "exonerated in the news."
- Galloway, a former University of British Columbia professor, is suing Gray and others, alleging defamation after they published unproven assault claims online; retired judge Mary Ellen Boyd previously found those claims unsubstantiated.
- Gray testified she became a "safe person" for the accuser, becoming emotional while detailing the accuser's recent suicide attempts and stating it had been "so hard to watch" the deterioration.
- Defense lawyer Vanshika Dhawan told the court last Thursday that Gray is no longer defending some online statements as "qualified privilege," though Gray continues defending certain posts as fair comment.
- Gray concluded her testimony on Monday, and the trial will continue Tuesday in Vancouver, while the accuser is not testifying in the proceedings due to ongoing mental health struggles.
