The accused was charged with assault contrary to section 266 of the Criminal Code.
The complainant testified that during a domestic argument, the accused slapped her on the left side of the face after telling her to leave his apartment in the middle of the night.
The accused denied the assault, claiming the complainant made a false complaint as revenge for being asked to leave.
The court found the complainant's evidence credible and consistent with her actions and the observations of the investigating officer.
The accused's evidence was contradicted by his own admissions, the circumstances of the incident, and the physical evidence observed by police.
The court found the Crown proved the assault beyond a reasonable doubt and entered a conviction.
