A British Columbia Supreme Court has certified a class-action lawsuit alleging the province failed to stop former prison guard Roderic David MacDougall from sexually assaulting over 200 inmates between 1976 and 1997 at four facilities, including Oakalla Prison. 诉讼声称麦克道格尔使用威胁和承诺的特权强迫受害者进行性行为, 并指责政府监督不足并忽视报告.
