The accused was charged with three counts of sexual assault contrary to section 271 of the Criminal Code.
The Crown alleged that on July 19, 2013, the accused grabbed the complainant's breasts from behind at a bar in Goderich.
On July 20, 2013, the Crown alleged the accused groped the complainant in a taxi and subsequently engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with her at the accused's best friend's residence.
The accused's defence was that the first incident did not occur and that the second and third incidents were consensual.
The trial judge found the complainant to be a credible and reliable witness and rejected the accused's evidence as discordant with ordinary behaviour.
The court found the accused guilty on counts 2 and 3 but acquitted him on count 1 due to insufficient evidence of identification in the crowded bar setting.
