Lawyer facing allegations of professional misconduct after stating that “a 14 or 15-year-old girl is not a child, but a ‘sexually mature young woman’”
McCallum’s comments were met with disgust from the public and provincial government, and he was fired by the children’s aid society the next day. The Law Society Tribunal has since brought forward an allegation of professional misconduct against McCallum, alleging that he “failed to act honourably and with integrity”.
