The accused was charged with assault, unlawful confinement, uttering threats, mischief, and historical allegations of assault and threatening arising from an incident on December 21, 2017.
The complainant, the accused's daughter, gave a detailed videotaped statement to police describing the assault and confinement, but recanted at trial, claiming the allegations were fabricated.
The court found the complainant had committed perjury and assessed the comparative reliability of her two accounts.
Security camera footage corroborated key aspects of the police statement.
The court convicted on counts 1 and 2 (assault and unlawful confinement) based on the police statement corroborated by video evidence, but acquitted on counts 3, 4, and 5-7 due to insufficient corroboration or detail.
