The Jian Ghomeshi case was a perfect exacmple of what happens when police and prosecutors take the feminist-recommended "Listen and believe" approach to sexual assault accusations. They listened, they believed, they did not ask critical questions or properly investigate the accusations before trial. They did exactly what they were "supposed" to do, to best support the accusers.

And then it happened, the accusers were caught explicitly lying, on the stand under oath, during cross examination. The accusers swore they never saw or wanted to see Ghomeshi again after the assaults, and then were presented by defence counsel with documented evidence that they went out of their way to get in touch with or get together with Ghomeshi again and again. The case collapsed and the Crown suffered a highly public embarrassment.

Had the police properly investigated, they would have found the accusers were lying to the police and would have labeled the accusations unfounded. It's a little ironic.
