The accused was charged with break and enter with intent to commit assault and assault with a weapon (frying pan) against Christine Higgins on December 7, 2010, in Oakville.
The Crown's case relied primarily on eyewitness identification evidence from the victim and her daughter, who identified the accused as the assailant.
The accused advanced an alibi defence, claiming he was at his mother's house at the time of the attack.
The court found the identification evidence reliable despite some frailties and rejected the alibi as not worthy of belief.
The accused was convicted on both counts.
