This is a documentary that aired on CBC Radio's "The Current"

Weighing the Balance evolved from a simple question: what happened to the men who were named and shamed in a very public news conference staged by the Toronto Police. Six men, their ages and places of residence were named as people who had purchased child pornography. Upon investigation, Kellie Hudson found that one man wasn’t even charged, and while three had gone to court, two had had their charges quietly withdrawn. One of those men was James Lecraw. Despite the withdrawal of charges, LeCraw lost his job, friends and eventually, in deep despair, took his own life. This is James’ story, as told by his brother and
niece, his former employer and through his own words.
