Ok, a quick summery is that one didn't report it because the feminist dominated society in Canada made him afraid of being called a "sissy" if he dared reporting being raped and abused, another serious case was reported to the police who ignored it doing nothing so it continued for months after and of course the family is now paying through the nose for treatment for their son instead of the government who bungled it all and who claim to run a world class medical system where everyone pays and everyone is treated for free.

But hey, this is what we should model after for the rest of the world per feminists and liberals!?!?

One day after a Calgary man was convicted for brutally beating his roommate over many months, agencies that work with victims of domestic violence say men who are abused can feel stigmatized and alone.

Dustin Paxton, 32,http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2012/01/30/calgary-paxton-stay-ruling.html
was convicted Monday of beating and sexually assaulting his roommate over a period of 18 months in Calgary and Regina.

The victim, who cannot be named, never sought help. His ordeal finally ended when he was dropped off -- close to death -- at a Regina hospital in 2010.

There aren't any accurate statistics on how many men are abused in domestic situations because many victims simply won't admit it, said Aaron Korneychuk, who works at the Calgary Counselling Centre.

"There's a lot of silence around it. I think a lot of men don't come forward because of the social stigma about it," he said.

"As men we're supposed to be able to take care of ourselves. There's this idea we can't be abused because we can just walk away, but that doesn't necessarily happen," he said.

Earl Silverman, who runs a men's advocacy group in Calgary, said he finds men in such situations feel there is no help.

"People are conditioned that women are victims. People are not conditioned that men are victims of domestic violence," Silverman said.

Calgary Counselling Centre officials said there are support groups and services for men who are assaulted, as well as a shelter in Strathmore that accepts men in domestic crisis.

Dangerous offender status pursued for Dustin Paxton


A Crown prosecutor told a Calgary judge Wednesday that the application for dangerous offender status for Dustin Paxton, who was accused of torturing his former roommate, is underway following the results of his psychiatric assessment.

Paxton was found guilty last February of aggravated assault and sexual assault, but hasn't been sentenced yet as the court waits to rule on the dangerous offender status.

In April 2010, Paxton's former roomate was dropped off at a Regina hospital suffering from multiple injuries and emaciation.

A Calgary judge said last summer Paxton must undergo a 60-day psychiatric evaluation to help determine if he meets the criteria to be designated a dangerous offender.

The results for the assessment are now in, and Crown prosecutor Joe Mercier said the paperwork is underway to begin an application for dangerous offender status.

That paperwork is with Alberta's attorney general, who has to approve the application.

A dangerous offender ruling is rare because it allows the courts to hold someone in jail indefinitely on the basis that person is dangerous to society.

Mercier expects to have a response from the attorney general within the next month.

Dustin Paxton's lawyer was in court as well to hear from the Crown, but his client declined to appear in person.

Justice Sheila Martin asked defence lawyer Jim Lutz to remind his client that it is important he take part in the process.

The case is expected to come back before a judge on Jan. 16.
