[All Charges Withdrawn] R v. S.L.: 17 Serious Criminal Allegations Dismissed After Evidence Review

When SL first came to our office, SL was facing an overwhelming case with the following criminal allegations:

  1. Two counts of Assault with Weapon – 267(a) of the Criminal Code,
  2. Eight counts of Sexual Assault – 271 of the Criminal Code,
  3. Two counts of Voyeurism – 162(1) of the Criminal Code,
  4. Two counts of Assault/Choking – 267(c) of the Criminal Code,
  5. Three counts of Forcible Confinement – s.279(2) of the Criminal Code.

After carefully interviewing SL and going through messages between SL and the complainant, numerous inconsistencies were discovered which had material impacts on the truthfulness of the complainant’s statement to the police.

Through negotiations with the Crown Attorney, all charges against SL were withdrawn.
