The Respondent father sought a contact order for his two sons after a temporary no-contact order was issued due to serious sexual assault allegations made by the Applicant mother's 15-year-old daughter against him, which were verified by Simcoe Muskoka Child, Youth and Family Services.
The court dismissed the father's motion for contact, emphasizing that the best interests of all three children, including the alleged victim, were paramount.
The court highlighted the importance of a risk assessment, which the father refused to undergo, and distinguished prior case law based on recent amendments to the Children's Law Reform Act concerning family violence.
