The accused was charged with sexual assault against a co-worker.
The Crown alleged that the accused kissed and groped the complainant without consent during a lunch break in his pickup truck.
The accused testified that the complainant consented to kissing and that no groping occurred.
The trial judge found the accused's testimony to be contradictory, inconsistent, and illogical, and accepted the complainant's testimony that she did not consent to any sexual touching.
The trial judge also found that the accused failed to take reasonable steps to ascertain consent and was reckless or wilfully blind to the absence of consent.
The accused was convicted of sexual assault.
