Kathryn Borel, a former CBC employee, says she agreed to a peace bond over a trial because “it seemed like the clearest path to the truth.”

She says that in the three years they worked together, Ghomeshi made it clear to her that “he could do what he wanted to me and my body.”

According to the allegations read in court, Ghomeshi grabbed Borel from behind at work in 2008 and ground his pelvis into her.

Borel blamed the CBC for not helping her when she first lodged a complaint.

“When I went to the CBC for help, what I received in return was a directive that yes, he could do this, and yes, it was my job to let him,” she said.
