In 1986, a woman was raped at knife point in her apartment in Toronto. As she later discovered, she was among five women attacked by a serial rapist whose MO was known to police. A suspect was eventually convicted. However, information soon came to light that the police had reason to suspect the woman might be in danger six days prior to the rape. Despite this knowledge the police did not inform women in the area matching the correct description. The woman, now known simply as Jane Doe, pursued a lawsuit against the police force for negligent and sexist practice in violation of the Charter of Rights. After more than twelve years of fighting, she won her case. The judge refused to allow an appeal from the Toronto police, ordering the improvement of police procedures in cases of rape and sexual assault.
