Counsel: Tonii Roulston
Offence: Sexual Assault (s. 271 CC)
Result: Peace Bond, Charges Withdrawn
Our client was accused of sexually assaulting his wife, with the Crown seeking a sentence of three years’ incarceration. Tonii Roulston identified and advanced significant triable issues, including serious concerns regarding the credibility of the complainant and other witnesses, as well as a motive to fabricate. Tonii further argued breaches of the client’s constitutionally protected rights pursuant to sections 8 and 10(b) of the Charter. Through strategic negotiation and rigorous advocacy, Tonii secured a Peace Bond, the charge withdrawn, resulting in no conviction and no criminal record for the client.
