00:00:00.000 A university found that a 46 year old trans non-binary man committed sexual misconduct.

00:00:08.780 This amidst what a junior news investigation found to be an alleged pattern of predatorial

00:00:14.400 behavior but the university kept him on campus.

00:00:17.780 That student's name is Phoenix Shield, also known as David Williston.

00:00:23.120 And what about consequences?

00:00:25.720 Mr. Shields got a reprimand, which is a slap on the wrist.

00:00:29.600 He got a no contact order, but also an education session.

00:00:34.280 So that's it.

00:01:02.440 for the criminal code now the victim told me that the university prioritized quote identity politics

00:01:16.840 at the university of windsor who told me that they had some serious concerns about phoenix shield

00:01:21.640 before the complaint and some told me that they stopped going to campus the main campus entirely

00:01:28.200 out of fear of coming across mr shield as of now what's incredible in this story is how issues like
