Judging Ottawa Women

Ottawa’s Judge Robert Fournier dismisses a defendant’s claim that he did not notice the attractiveness of  the woman he was accused of groping:

If 50 men, self-respecting, objective men, men who respect women, were to view (the woman), however briefly, they would conclude that she meets the standard of an attractive woman, at least in the city of Ottawa”
