La Cour suprême du Canada a cassé hier une disposition de la loi interdisant à un accusé d'agression sexuelle d'évoquer dans sa défense le comportement sexuel passé d'une victime. Dans une décision partagée à sept voix contre deux, le tribunal affirme que l'article 276 du Code criminel visant à assurer la protection des victimes de viol est contraire à la Charte des droits parce qu'il prive l'accusé d'une défense pleine et entière. 3, record 1, French, - lois%20sur%20la%20protection%20des%20victimes%20de%20viol
