Criminal trial involving allegations of intrafamilial sexual assault against two child complainants and physical assault against one complainant.
The court applied the W.D. framework and held that the accused's core denials were believable and unshaken in cross-examination.
The court found significant credibility concerns in one complainant's evidence, significant reliability concerns in the other complainant's evidence, and further reasonable doubt arising from the evidentiary context, including the absence of evidence from the mother.
The Crown failed to prove any count beyond a reasonable doubt, and acquittals were entered on all charges.
