The accused, a school lunch monitor, was charged with sexual offences against a child complainant who alleged he touched her inappropriately at school and during a sleepover.
The trial judge applied the W.(D.) framework to assess the conflicting testimony.
The court found significant inconsistencies in the complainant's evidence and concluded that the busy nature of the school hallway made the alleged daily assaults highly improbable.
The accused was acquitted of all charges as the Crown failed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
