Joseph, Diana, and the crew break down the guardrails around after-the-fact conduct and why context is everything, especially in sexual assault cases. They walk through three fresh decisions: Townsend (2025 BCCA 459) on the danger of leaping to guilt from a volatile reaction (and the appellate correction when alternative explanations weren’t properly weighed), JA (2025 ONSC 4531) on how chaotic teen/young-adult texting can be misread as admissions when there’s no clear denial, and PG (2025 ONSC 7018) the “Godly Conduct Agreement” case where highly religious language that sounds like a confession is ultimately understood as moral guilt and inner turmoil, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The through-line: if you don’t rigorously test other plausible explanations, post-offence conduct becomes a shortcut to wrongful inferences.","meta_description":"Sponsored by EasyDNS [https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord](https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord) How should courts treat an accused person’s post-offence behaviour…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2046,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/not-on-record-podcast-5844918/episodes/ep-196-what-you-do-after-an-allegation-can-ruin-you-even-if-you-re-innocent/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/not-on-record-podcast-5844918/ep-196-what-you-do-after-an-allegation-can-ruin-you-even-if-you-re-innocent.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
