The victim took the stand in a sexual assault retrial after the original trial made national headlines because of the controversial comments made by the presiding judge.

Alexander Scott Wagar was charged with sexually assaulting a woman over a bathroom sink at a house party in 2014.

Wagar was originally acquitted by Justice Robin Camp, who was then a provincial court judge.

The next year, the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the acquittal and ordered a new trial because of some of the comments that Camp made during his decision.

Camp questioned the morals of the victim, who was 19 at the time the assault took place. He also repeatedly referred to her as ‘the accused’.

Wagar was re-arrested and denied bail this past summer.

Camp, who was made a federal court judge after the decision in the original Wagar trial, has undergone a review by the Canadian Judicial Council.

The agency held a hearing about his comments in September but there is no timeline on when a decision could be handed down.

The Council could decide to remove Camp from the bench.

Court also heard on Monday from a former Mustard Seed employee and a detective who was with the sex crimes unit. He testified that Wagar's DNA was found on the complainant's jeans. Wagar is expected to take the stand on Tuesday.
