Anne-Marie Robinson

The fellow student says the next morning, Ann Marie appeared at breakfast, distraught and robotic, with a blank stare. But it's too late for this witness, these memories, to help Ann Marie's case.

After a 2021 preliminary hearing, a judge determined there was no evidence Anne Marie had not consented to sex with her teacher in that Belleville hotel room. So the case never went to trial. This is a witness and evidence the police never found. Because as far as Anne Marie knows and files reveal, the police never looked. Still, Anne Marie sees it as validation.

It's yet another new detail in a growing body of corroboration and documentation. Well, it's just so frustrating, right? It's just so frustrating. Over the past 18 months of this investigation, I've found evidence that 15 women were sexually exploited, harassed and or assaulted by the same teacher, William Douglas Walker. I've spoken to most of those women.

It all started around 1974, Walker's first year of teaching. And from the start, superiors were told about his sexual encounters with kids, students. Subsequent administrators were told again and again.

Ali's experience in 1987 is the last we know of. But in 1988, the music teacher was still being warned to stop his inappropriate behavior with teen girls. After that, he moved schools four more times. We don't know why. Then, by 2001, he was banned from teaching. So far, any attempts to have this former teacher convicted have failed.

And most of the survivors say success will only come when they see him behind bars. But that's not the only measurement here. Because on this journey, something pretty wonderful has happened. Come on, Arch. Come. Come see. Somebody's at the door. Who's at the door? Who's that? See, you don't bark at her anymore.

Archie the Aussie Doodle has come to know Anne-Marie Robinson well. He doesn't even bark when she arrives at my door, but he's happily wagging and wiggling.

This is where we first met in 2020, on my front porch in Ottawa. Archie was barking at the squirrels. At our first meeting, I couldn't see the deputy minister Anne-Marie used to be. I saw someone who was broken and lost. She hid under oversized clothes. Long bangs hung over her face like a shield. Since then, I've witnessed a metamorphosis.

Today, she arrives in fashionable pink pants and a deep purple blouse. I can see her green eyes. In fact, they sparkle with a different kind of energy. The confident leader has reemerged. But this process wasn't easy. I took her down roads that I know caused more trauma.

When you look back at the goals we sort of set, you set from the beginning. Do you feel that we've met the goals? Oh, absolutely.
