From notes on the reported actions of an adult male student at Vancouver Island University who is diagnosed with paraphilic infantilism. The notes were compiled by Katrin Roth von Szepesbéla, the university’s former director of human rights and workplace safety, and included in a complaint that she filed in November with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal. Roth von Szepesbéla accuses the university of failing to take action against the student after several teachers and staff members claimed that he sexually harassed them. The complaint was provided by Richard Watts, a journalist at the Times Colonist, in Victoria, British Columbia.
