The accused was charged with two counts of sexual assault, one count of choking, one count of assault, and one count of criminal harassment.
The trial judge found the accused's evidence fundamentally unreliable and tainted by fantasy or insincerity, while the complainant's and her mother's evidence was found honest and sincere.
The accused was found guilty of sexual assault (two counts), assault, and criminal harassment, but not guilty of choking.
The court rejected the defence of honest but mistaken belief in consent for sexual assault, finding the accused took no reasonable steps to ascertain consent.
