VANCOUVER — A CSIS officer's allegations that she was raped repeatedly by a superior in agency vehicles set off a harassment inquiry, but also triggered an investigation into her that concluded the alleged attacks were a “misuse” of agency vehicles by the woman.
That was eight days after she had formally complained to CSIS that she was raped nine times by an officer decades older than her, who had been assigned to mentor her on surveillance missions as her"road coach." An email from the labour officer on Tuesday, which Jane Doe shared with The Canadian Press, says the report was not"intentionally hidden."
When asked to confirm that the rape complainant had herself been investigated, Balsam said"the situation is complex and sensitive" and"it would be inappropriate for CSIS to comment further on specific labour relations issues." Both Jane Doe and the other officer who said she was assaulted have previously said they did not feel they could go to police because the CSIS Act banned identifying themselves or their alleged attacker as covert officers, punishable by up to five years in prison. The women, who are both still employed by CSIS, said a flawed internal complaint process left victims vulnerable to retaliation.
The outside investigator's"final report" into Jane Doe is dated April 12, 2023, but she said she only found out about it this February. It quotes her alleged attacker as saying he is"sorry that a consensual relationship resulted in improper use of government and time." "It was like he wasn't asking so that he didn't have to have the answer, so that he wouldn't have to include that in any of his findings, so the less he knows the better," she said.
