The accused was tried on a ten-count indictment alleging assaults, sexual assaults, and death threats within an intimate relationship.
Applying the W(D.) framework and the criminal standard of proof, the court found serious credibility and reliability concerns in the complainant's evidence, including significant inconsistencies, concerns about the authenticity of calendar entries, and evidence inconsistent with her denials of strong attachment to the accused.
The accused's evidence was also approached with caution, but portions of it were accepted and partially corroborated by defence witnesses.
The court held that although some counts could be considered together for contextual purposes, the totality of the evidence did not establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The accused was acquitted on all counts.
