The accused was charged with sexual interference and sexual assault of his young son.
The Crown's case relied primarily on the testimony of the child, who disclosed the alleged abuse to his mother.
The trial judge found the child believable but noted significant reliability concerns, including a lack of detail and a tendency to guess or make up answers.
Although the judge did not believe the accused's denials and suspected he had committed the offences, the reliability issues with the child's evidence left the court with a reasonable doubt.
The charges were dismissed.
