Counsel: Tonii Roulston
Offence: Sexual Assault (s.271 CC)
Result: Stay of Proceedings
Our client and the complainant were in an intimate relationship for two years. They first met when the client was married to his now ex-wife. The complainant accused the client of cheating on her with his ex-wife in text messages. She then accused the client of sexually assaulting her. Tonii Roulston brought a s.278 application to get the text messages admitted into evidence. After the application, Tonii was able to negotiate with the Crown and they decided to enter a stay of proceedings, leading to no conviction and no criminal record.
