The statement from the complainant came during her second day of cross\u002Dexamination at Virtanen\u0027s trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.
The statement from the complainant, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban, came during her second day of cross-examination at Virtanen’s trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.
Under questioning from the Crown, she testified that her goal in suing Virtanen was to “get some reassurance” and denied that it was for money. The complaint said that the “whole reason” she came forward in the first place was to have her story told and believed, and to have people say it wasn’t her fault and that Virtanen was the one in the wrong.“Well, it could be enormous,” said Martland.
Regarding her motive for reporting the allegations, Martland suggested that she knew she would instigate an enormous amount of public anger directed at the hockey player.“I wanted him to be held accountable, yes,” she said. “He created this. Had he accepted no for an answer, I would have left and none of this would have happened.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
