This story is part of the CBC News series Stopping Domestic Violence. It had originally been scheduled to publish in the spring, but was delayed pending the outcome of a CBC application to lift a publication ban identifying
the complainant in a sexual assault case against Kevin Evans
.
Evans challenged the application, but in August, CBC won a judge s ruling to allow his alleged victim to speak freely using her own name and showing her face.
Jessica Donald took photos of herself bruised eyes, a swollen nose, clumps of missing hair to ensure that her then boyfriend couldn t convince her that nothing happened.
