The applicant sought reconsideration of a decision dismissing his application for compensation without a hearing.
The applicant alleged he was falsely accused of sexual assault and imprisoned for three months, arguing that the offender's conviction for public mischief constituted a crime of violence.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation Board granted the reconsideration, noting a change in its Rules of Procedure and the need for additional evidence regarding the circumstances of the false accusation and the applicant's incarceration.
