Charges of Assault with a Weapon and Obtain Sexual Services for Consideration, withdrawn, Newmarket. Y.L. had attended an establishment for a massage and at some point, an argument broke out with staff at the spa. The staff called police and Y.L. was charged. Joseph Neuberger was retained to defend the charges. Y.L. insisted that he was attacked by a staff member with a knife. Joseph Neuberger subpoenaed the security camera footage from the spa. It was ultimately provided to the Crown and disclosed to the defence. It did show that Y.L. was threatened with a knife. Joseph Neuberger conducted several pre-trials but sent the client for therapy in regard to the harms of the sex trafficking industry, and about his judgement in that regard. The report was very positive. In addition, Y.L. completed 50 hours of community service. Joseph Neuberger established to the Crown that his client was acting in self-defence but the other charge of obtaining services was clearly made out. That said, a negotiated resolution for a common law peace bond was arranged given the up-front work done by the client. Accordingly, all charges were withdrawn, and the client signed a common law peace bond.
