The accused, Daniel Gendron, was charged with sexual assault.
The Crown alleged that Gendron had sexual intercourse with the complainant, S.M., while she was incapacitated and unable to consent, possibly due to being drugged.
The court found S.M.'s testimony to be unreliable and inconsistent, particularly regarding the timing of text messages and her belief in her friend's psychic abilities.
Due to the lack of corroboration for the critical aspects of S.M.'s testimony, the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that S.M. was unconscious or incapable of consenting, or that she had withdrawn her consent.
The charge was dismissed.
