Caught on camera: prison guard sexually assaulted by colleague says Corrections Canada 'did not protect me' - British Columbia - CBC News: Mercier says she asked her superior to move her colleague to a different shift, but says she was told that couldn't be done.
"I was told he had rights," says Mercier. "I'm thinking, 'I have just been sexually assaulted ... and now I'm stuck with the man who sexually assaulted me.' It's an old boys' club."
After three weeks of repeatedly encountering the man at work, Mercier says she had a breakdown and went on stress leave. She is currently on sick leave without pay.
Internal investigation
It took 62 days after Mercier complained to the warden of Mountain Institution for the Correctional Service of Canada to inform her it was conducting an internal investigation.
"They took two months to decide to investigate," says Mercier. "Despite having video evidence of what he did."
The investigation concluded that Mercier's colleague had not only verbally harassed her for months, but had sexually harassed her as captured on video — although the man claimed he only poked Mercier "below her tool belt" because he was trying to get her "to move along."
