The accused was charged with sexual assault contrary to Section 271 of the Criminal Code.
The complainant, a 17-year-old Aboriginal woman, was hitchhiking when the accused picked her up and brought her to a house.
After providing her with alcohol, the accused kissed the complainant without her consent while she was attempting to leave.
The court found the Crown proved the case beyond a reasonable doubt, rejecting the accused's claim that the kiss was consensual and finding that the complainant's conduct demonstrated fear and lack of consent.
