Judge to deliver ruling today in Frank Stronach’s sexual assault trial
Justice Anne Molloy is expected to rule on five remaining charges after prosecutors withdrew several counts during the February trial.
- On Friday, Ontario Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy is expected to deliver her ruling today in the sexual assault trial of 93-year-old businessman Frank Stronach, who faces five remaining charges.
- When the trial began in February, Stronach faced 12 charges involving seven complainants, but prosecutors withdrew several counts before arguments concluded in April, leaving five charges from three women.
- Defence lawyer Leora Shemesh argued the case was "plagued by a negligent and reckless investigation" by police acting on "tunnel vision," urging the judge to find accusers unreliable.
- Stronach pleaded not guilty to all charges and has rarely commented outside court; he faces a separate trial in Newmarket, Ont., next year regardless of today's verdict.
- The allegations span 1977 to 1990, presenting complex legal challenges due to the time elapsed, while legal experts have questioned the strength of the prosecution's initial cases.
