The accused, a denturist, was charged with 17 counts of sexual assault against multiple female patients.
The Crown alleged that the accused intentionally rubbed his penis against the buttocks of the patients while performing denturist services.
The court admitted the evidence of the complainants as similar fact evidence, finding it highly probative of the actus reus and credibility.
Applying the W.(D.) framework, the court rejected the accused's evidence and found the complainants' evidence credible and reliable.
The accused was found guilty on 13 counts of sexual assault.
