The accused was charged with sexual assault, forcible confinement, assault, and assaulting a peace officer arising from incidents involving his former partner.
The court rejected the accused’s testimony as inconsistent, illogical, and contradicted by prior statements and other evidence.
The complainant’s account that the accused tied her while asleep and engaged in non‑consensual anal intercourse was found credible and supported by surrounding circumstances.
The court also accepted evidence that the accused choked the complainant during a later domestic dispute and actively assaulted an officer while resisting arrest.
The Crown proved the offences beyond a reasonable doubt and convictions were entered on four counts, with one count dismissed at the Crown’s request.
