The accused was charged with human trafficking, sexual assault, assault, and drug trafficking offences involving a 16-year-old complainant and her friends.
The Crown alleged the accused groomed the complainant to become her pimp.
The court found the evidence insufficient to prove the accused exercised control or direction over the complainant's movements for the purpose of exploitation, resulting in acquittals on the human trafficking and related prostitution charges.
However, the court found the accused guilty of sexual assault, assault, trafficking in cocaine, and trafficking in a substance held out to be cocaine.
