Bibliographic record
Abstract
Les poursuites engagees contre Louis Auger, le depute federal le plus jeune au Canada, representent un episode retentissant et scandaleux de l'histoire de la justice canadienne. Accuse de viol sur la personne d'une jeune Franco-Ontarienne de 17 ans dans son bureau a la Chambre de communes, Auger a essuye la colere d'un groupe acharne de juges et de poursuivants anglophones. Au debut de du XXe siecle, les plaintes de viol portees par les femmes des classes laborieuses et appartenant aux minorites ethniques etaient rarement prises au serieux. Dans cette affaire extraordinaire, les autorites n'ont pas hesite a deroger aux presomptions, aux regles de droit et aux procedures habituelles, pour s'assurer de faire un exemple de ce depute, de ce parvenu d'etudiant en droit franco-ontarien qui, a leur avis, avait abuse de sa situation. Louis Auger est passe en jugement cinq fois, respectivement pour viol, seduction et parjure pour etre en fin de compte, reconnu coupable et condamne a deux ans d'emprisonnement au penitencier de Kingston. Le recit de ces poursuites met en lumiere l’interaction complexe des considerations de sexe, de classe sociale et les facteurs ethnolinguistiques, tels qu'ils influaient sur l'application des regles de droit en matiere d'agression sexuelle dans cette affaire celebre et controversee. The prosecution of Louis Auger, Canada's youngest Member of Parliament, constitutes an explosive and scandalous moment in Canadian legal history. Charged with raping a seventeen-year old Franco-Ontarian woman in his room in the House of Commons, Auger faced the wrath of a determined group of Anglophone prosecutors and judges. Working-class women from ethnic minority groups who complained of rape in the early twentieth-century rarely found their complaints taken seriously. In this unusual case, the authorities were prepared to alter customary assumptions, legal rules ad procedures to ensure that they made an example of the M.O. They viewed as an upstart Franco-Ontarian student-at-law, who had abuse his office. Louis Auger faced five trials for rape, seduction and perjury before he was ultimately convicted and sentenced to two years in the Kingston Penitentiary. The narrative of the prosecution reveals the complex interplay between gender, class, and ethno-linguistic factors as they influenced the application of the law of sexual assault in this notorious and controversial proceeding.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
