The defendant, M.A.M., was charged with multiple counts of assault and sexual assault against his wife and child.
The central issue was credibility.
The complainant was found to be an unreliable and evasive witness due to significant inconsistencies between her police statement and trial testimony, and her apparent willingness to minimize events.
While the defendant was also found not credible, the court could not make definite findings of fact due to the complainant's unreliability.
Consequently, all charges were dismissed as the Crown failed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
