The defendant was charged with assaulting the complainant on three occasions in November 2011 and March 2012.
The third count was dismissed on consent.
The trial involved conflicting accounts of two incidents: one on November 22, 2011 involving an alleged slap, and another on November 23, 2011 involving alleged grabbing and striking.
The complainant testified the defendant used threats regarding her immigration sponsorship to control her.
The defendant denied the assaults and claimed the complainant initiated physical contact.
The court found the Crown had not discharged its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt and acquitted the defendant on both remaining counts.
