Human rights tribunal says the complaint about how a trans woman was treated won’t move forward
A transgender woman who alleges her sexual assault report wasn’t taken seriously by the Nelson Police Department has had a complaint dismissed by the BC Human Rights Tribunal.
Olivia Bean first reported her assault to the department on Aug. 22, 2015. In her submission to the tribunal, Bean says interviewing officer Sgt. Nathaniel Holt “repeatedly normalized the sexual assault, along with the financial and emotional abuse she was reporting.”
Bean alleges Holt was impatient, did not take her seriously because of her gender identity and consistently redirected conversation away from the assault report to discussions about her transition. Holt also allegedly dissuaded her from pressing charges and recommended she instead visit Kootenay Lake Hospital.
