The accused was charged with two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual touching of a person under 16 years of age.
The Crown alleged that between December 2018 and April 2019, the accused engaged in oral sex with a 14-year-old girl, and on July 5, 2019, was found in bed with the same girl who was then 15 years old and pregnant.
The accused claimed he believed the complainant was 17 years old and that his conduct on July 5, 2019 was motivated by concern for her pregnancy.
The court found the accused guilty on all counts, determining that he did not take all reasonable steps to ascertain the complainant's age and that his evidence was not credible.
