I briefly mention the case of the Bishop Hubert O'Connor and conviction of rape and indecent assault in 1997, the trial was in 1996:
A collection of contemporary reports on O'Connor:

New accusations involved O'Connor in 2021:
richmond-news.com/bc-news/disgraced-bishop-hubert-oconnor-again-accused-of-sexual-assault-3935282
Both of the above have disturbing details about assaults.
Books Mentioned:
Strange The Dreamer (2017) Laini Taylor
On the Cusp of Contact: Gender, Space and Race in the Colonization of British Columbia (2020) Jean Barman
(buddy reading with @Shawn the Book Maniac)
The Break (2016) Katherena Vermette
The Life and Adventures of Michael Armstrong Factory Boy (1840) Frances Milton Trollope
And not mentioned was:
Trollope (1992) Victoria Glendinning, a biography of Frances' son Anthony Trollope, which actually is also doing a good job of telling the story of the women in Trollope's life, his mother, his wife Rose, and various fascinating and independent new women who both disturbed and fascinated him and whom he started putting into his novels.

I've turned off my comments (for a little while). The comments I've gotten in the past are great. I'm just neurotic guy and have been stressed over keeping up my end. Want to hear more? Check out this video:
