Charges of Sexual Assault, Utter Threat and Mischief withdrawn prior to setting the trial date. K.S. was charged with Sexual Assault, Utter Threat and Mischief out of London, Ontario. The complainant was his girlfriend who called 911 because K.S. locked her out of his apartment. The complainant provided a statement to police at the scene where she alleged that K.S. threatened to kill her and broke a window of her car. The complainant also disclosed a historic sexual assault by K.S. K.S. had ended the relationship and it seemed the allegations were revenge. K.S. retained Joseph Neuberger and Mariya Protsenko of Neuberger and Partners LLP, as his Criminal Defence lawyers. Joseph and Mariya requested disclosure and carefully analyzed it with the client. Joseph and Mariya prepared a letter for the assigned Crown Attorney that outlined the issues with the case and that showed there was no reasonable prospect of conviction. This was clearly a care of a false revenge allegation of sex assault. After multiple pre-trials and emails with the Crown Attorney, the charges were withdrawn.
