The defendant was charged with sexual assault and sexual interference against a minor complainant.
The Crown alleged that the defendant sexually assaulted the complainant in his parents' apartment between February 10, 2010 and March 7, 2010, when she was 15 years old.
The defendant denied all allegations.
The court found the complainant's testimony riddled with contradictions, inconsistencies with her police statement, and implausible elements.
Notably, the complainant and her mother continued to interact cordially with the defendant after the alleged assault, including sending him a get-well card following his knee surgery.
The court found the defendant not guilty of all charges, determining that the Crown failed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
