[REDACTED]
Ms Christina Lynch for the Crown
Mr. Matthew Friedberg
for the Accused
Released: October 17, 2006
O' Connor J.
The accused lived in a three bedroom apartment with his common law
partner and six children. The accused was charged with sexual assault, incest
and sexual exploitation over a six year period in relation to the accused's
daughter. The accused was acquitted. There was not sufficient supportive
evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the events described by the
daughter happened, as the daughter's evidence contained several improbabilities
and inconsistencies, such as claim that assaults happened in various rooms of
tiny apartment while other family members were present.
