Defendant says sorry to former UBC professor days before defamation trial to start
One of the accusers of former University of British Columbia professor Steven Galloway has issued a lengthy apology just days before a defamation trial is expected to begin. Chelsea Rooney, who circulated serious but unproven allegations against Galloway, recognizes that her communications led others to believe the allegations were true.
Galloway, who was never charged with sexual assault but was fired from his position, denies the accusations. The Supreme Court of Canada dismissed an appeal by Galloway's accusers in 2024, clearing the way for the upcoming trial.
