The accused, M.C.D., faced 13 charges, including assault and sexual assault, involving his former spouse and two children.
Three charges were withdrawn by the Crown.
The court acquitted the accused of the remaining charges, finding significant issues with the credibility and reliability of the Crown's witnesses (the former spouse and children).
The judge noted numerous inconsistencies, embellishments, improbabilities, and evidence of collusion in their testimonies, which created a reasonable doubt regarding the accused's guilt.
