Steven Galloway concludes testimony in Vancouver defamation trial
Author Steven Galloway has concluded his testimony in a defamation lawsuit trial in Vancouver. Galloway, a former creative writing chair at the University of British Columbia, alleges that unproven accusations of sexual assault and rape destroyed his career.
Galloway has claimed that the University of British Columbia administration fabricated reasons for his 2016 dismissal to protect the institution's reputation. While he admitted to an extramarital affair with a student, he maintains that the broader allegations of misconduct were false. A former B.C. Supreme Court judge previously found the allegations against him to be unsubstantiated.
During the trial, Galloway was questioned by defendant Glynnis Kirchmeier. The court heard that while several defendants have already settled and issued public apologies, the trial continues. The next witness expected to testify is Ronna Syed, a producer for CBC’s ‘Fifth Estate’.
