VerifiedIt is not slander if it is true. However, technically he could sue you for slander (by lying and saying the assault never happened and thus is slander), and then the onus would shift to you to prove the assault did happen and thus your words were not slanderous.
So even though it's not slander if it's true, if this person is as 'unsavoury' as you suggest, then he may very well sue for slander and lie and say it didn't happen.

Unfortunately simply showing the police report and statements would not be sufficient to prove he assaulted your daughter. Rather, IF he sues you for slander, your daughter would have to testify at your trial in your defence to attest to the fact she actually was assaulted. If the judge accepts her oral testimony / evidence and believes she was, in fact, assaulted, then it should follow that this man would lose his slander lawsuit since it wasn't slander as it was true.

Can I have a short consultation phone call? Ontario.
Thank you, ***** ***** in a relationship during Summer 2021, he is working as a volunteer in a community for newcomers, I was an attendee to his class two years ago when I was new to Canada, he made a friendship and finally a relationship. He gave me vaginal infection two times, the second one was very serious with lots of bleeding, and I was in hospital. he said he was in multi sexual activities BUT had not informed me before. After sexual violence he left me and sent me a lot of offensive messages and threatening calls through different phone numbers in October. I reported his messages to Police, Police gave him a notice to stop contact. Police advised me to inform the chairman of that community to protect other women and victims. Also, one of those phone numbers is his work phone (Petro Canada) so I have sent his message and a letter to HR/Petro-Canada to inform them about the inappropriate usage. Now he wants to sue me for his social reputation and I need a lawyer. Appreciate your time and your help. Fariba… read more
