The accused, a rideshare driver, was charged with sexually assaulting two highly intoxicated female passengers in separate incidents and with assault causing bodily harm against one of them.
The Crown successfully applied to use the evidence of each complainant as similar fact evidence on the other count, relying heavily on the presence of the accused's DNA on both women's breasts.
The court rejected the accused's testimony, finding the similar fact evidence and corroborating video surveillance overwhelmingly proved guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The accused was found guilty on all counts.
