The publication ban imposed without her knowledge on her identity as a sexual assault victim was only lifted in Milton court following a two-week delay caused by the defence lawyer for the driving instructor who pleaded guilty to assaulting her.

Andrews says she has "big plans" including advocating for changes to the Criminal Code to make it easier for sexual assault survivors to lift publication bans and to ensure victims are not penalized for violating publication bans on their own identities.
