The man was granted a new trial after Ontario’s top court found the judge improperly relied on evidence to support the complainant’s testimony

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.A man found guilty of sexually abusing his stepdaughter decades ago has been granted a new trial after Ontario’s top court found the judge improperly relied on evidence to support the complainant’s testimony.

He was acquitted on the sexual exploitation charge, which related to allegations that he forced his stepdaughter to have sex after she turned 12, because the trial judge found the complainant’s evidence relating to this time period was “not sufficiently reliable.”But he was convicted on the other two charges, which stemmed from allegations of sexual touching when the complainant was as young as seven.
