The accused, Mohammad Isaq Jahfari, was charged with sexual assault and sexual interference involving a 15-year-old complainant.
The complainant testified that the accused offered him a ride, then touched his thigh, kissed his head, forehead, cheek, and lips, and attempted to "groom" him.
The defence argued the complainant's evidence was inconsistent and fabricated.
The court found the complainant to be a credible and reliable witness, rejecting the accused's testimony as implausible and inconsistent.
The court concluded that the touching was intentional, for a sexual purpose, and occurred in sexual circumstances, and that the accused's actions constituted grooming.
The accused was found guilty of both charges.
