Quebec? Isn't that where a learned judge said that rape was a cultural norm for Haitian men and declined to send two guys to jail for boys being boys.

Quote:3. Judge Monique Dubreuil angered the Haitian community in Montreal in 1998 when she sentenced two men, whom she said were "immature" and not a threat to society, to an 18-month suspended sentence for sexual assault. She explained her leniency by saying that the victim was not a juvenile and that the men, who were of Haitian origin, came from a culture where rape is accepted. "The absence of regret of the two accused seems to be related more to the cultural context, particularly with regard to relations with women than a veritable problem of a sexual nature," she said in her ruling.
