Mr. Ghomeshi says while his bedroom tastes — domination and submission, role-playing — may not be everyone’s, he was interested only in encounters with agreeable women who consented. The three interviewed by the Star say otherwise — they claim he was violent and one woman said he beat and choked her.

But none of them has ever complained to the police; none has put her name to their life-smashing accusations.

The women say they fear Internet retaliation, or that filing a police report would expose their names.

Yet that simply isn’t the case. Any publicity exposing them would not come from the police or the courts. An alleged victim of sex abuse gets a publication ban upon her name merely by asking for one.

I have in the past year alone covered two major sex assault trials in Toronto where every woman associated with the cases — alleged victims and purported witnesses both — was protected by a court ban. That is the norm. Not so the accused men, of course.

This story is so egregious: Not only are there are no criminal charges, there are not even any complainants, except to the crack team of Star reporters.

They are a crack team of journalists too, but properly trained sex assault investigators they are not. I understand that the conventional wisdom is that most victims of sex assault don’t report, but surely to God, when they do, it should not be to a newspaper.

What we have here is another sordid modern tale of bullying, another low-water mark in journalism, and another man vilified by anonymous accusers. McCarthyism, anyone?

I am guessing that the writer might wish that she didn't submit that article now.

She's just given herself a weapons grade facepalm.

But was there opposition in your Subaru, specifically in the engine?
