This decision addresses an application under s. 276 of the Criminal Code by the defendants to admit evidence of the complainant's prior sexual activity.
The complainant testified she was plied with drugs and alcohol and procured for sexual services.
The defendants sought to introduce cellphone location data showing the complainant at hotels providing sexual services independently prior to meeting them.
The court found the evidence relevant to challenge the procurement claim and that its probative value outweighed its prejudicial effect, subject to restrictions on salacious details.
The application was allowed, permitting cross-examination on these activities.
