The accused, Tsung Ong, was charged with two counts of sexual assault.
The first count was dismissed by Crown concession.
The second count, arising from an incident at the accused's birthday party, involved the complainant alleging the accused sexually assaulted her by pressing his face into her crotch area.
The central issue was witness credibility and the Crown's burden of proof.
The court found the complainant's testimony emotionally difficult but credible, yet noted inconsistencies and lack of detail regarding the alleged incident's mechanics and surrounding events.
The defence witnesses' evidence, while not ruling out the incident, supported the accused's general practice.
Ultimately, the court found that while the accused's testimony could not be accepted as true to the exclusion of other evidence, a reasonable doubt remained regarding the reliability of the complainant's account.
Consequently, the second count was also dismissed.
