Found Not Guilty of Major Sexual Assault

Charge(s):

CC: s.271 – Sexual Assault

Allegations:

My client was invited into the complainant’s apartment, where he forced himself upon her and allegedly sexually assaulted her in her kitchen. There was full penile penetration from behind, without a condom. The Crown was seeking three years incarceration.

Result:

The matter went to trial at the Court of Queen’s Bench, after a preliminary inquiry. The judge found him “Not Guilty,” and acquitted him on the basis of reasonable doubt, stemming from exculpatory DNA evidence. No criminal conviction.
