Frank Stronach, 93, denies 12 charges from alleged assaults spanning 1977–1990 involving seven women in Toronto, with a judge-alone trial underway.
- On Feb. 17, 2026, the second of seven complainants is expected to take the stand in the judge-alone trial of Frank Stronach in Toronto overseen by Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy.
- Frank Stronach, 93, has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges related to seven complainants, including sexual assault and forcible confinement.
- Last week, the trial opened with testimony that a complainant was assaulted in 1981, and defence lawyer Leora Shemesh challenged her memory, calling her a `storyteller`.
- The report carries a content advisory noting the material may affect people affected by sexual violence, and readers are invited to sign up for breaking news alerts about the case.
- The allegations span from 1977 to 1990, including suburban Scarborough, with two counts deemed historical due to the 1983 Criminal Code amendment and a separate Newmarket, Ont. trial set later this year.
