Frank Stronach’s second sexual assault trial postponed to May 2026
Prosecutors are proceeding with seven charges from four complainants as the case is narrowed before the four-week jury trial.
- On Wednesday, a Toronto court rescheduled Frank Stronach's sexual-assault jury trial for May 2026, with the proceeding expected to last four weeks.
- Magna International founder Stronach was charged in 2024 with 18 offences involving 13 complainants; the court later split the case into two trials to manage complexity.
- Prosecutors decided to proceed with seven charges involving four complainants in the Toronto trial, a strategic reduction from the original 12 charges and seven complainants.
- Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy ruled she cannot convict Stronach on two charges related to one complainant, limiting potential outcomes ahead of the jury trial.
- Stronach is currently awaiting a decision in a separate Toronto sexual-assault proceeding and was previously set to stand trial in nearby Newmarket, Ont., this fall.
