[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

(CNN)A judge in Canada is facing removal from the bench for his conduct when he asked a woman in a rape case why she couldn't "just keep [her] knees together."

Federal Court Judge Robin Camp is in the midst of a week-long judicial council hearing, which will determine whether he ought to be booted from his position

The case in question took place in 2014 when Camp was a provincial court judge. (He became a Federal Judge last year.)

The 19-year-old woman said she was raped over a bathroom sink during a house party.

According to records of the trial, Camp asked her why she didn't "skew her pelvis" or push her bottom into the sink to avoid penetration. He openly wondered, "Why couldn't you just keep your knees together?"

The thing I feel worst about is the questions I asked the accused. That was unforgivable, Justice Camp told the hearing on Friday, repeating an error he made several times during the trial by wrongly referring to the accuser as the accused, The Globe and Mail reported.

The South African judge also claims to have had a nonexistent knowledge of criminal law at the time of the trial and no training in sexual assault cases!

Great excuses, your honour!!!!!! What a loser!!!!!'SAD!!!!!
