SaltWire Network | Posted: 2 hours ago | Updated: 2 hours ago | 3 Min ReadSYDNEY — A Victoria County man is now scheduled to be sentenced in March after being found guilty on a single count of sexual assault.

In delivering his verdict decision after presiding over a trial, provincial court Judge Peter Ross said the assault, while minor in nature, involved Morris giving a young woman a hug, which she described in her trial testimony as awkward, and then slapping her left buttock cheek with his hand.In recounting the evidence presented at trial, Ross said the victim was working in another area of the course when she went to visit a co-worker in the canteen.

Ross said there was no evidence of Morris attempting to squeeze by the victim as he entered the building or that he was reaching out in a bid to prevent himself from falling at the time of the unwanted touching.
