The appellant appealed his convictions on 15 counts of sexual assault, arguing the verdicts were unreasonable.
The Supreme Court of Canada agreed with the dissenting judge at the Court of Appeal that the circumstantial evidence had so little weight that it was unreasonable to convict the appellant of the initial assault.
As the other 14 convictions relied on similar fact evidence tied to the first conviction, the appeal was allowed and acquittals were substituted on all counts.
