Charges of Sexual Assault and Sexual Interference withdrawn prior to trial. The client was on a dating app and planned to meet someone. The client and the person had been exchanging messages and the subject of money came up. The conversation led to a discussion of sexual services for money but was a bit vague. The client attended and the complainant seemed young, and he left. However, the complainant called police and he was charged. Joseph Neuberger was retained to defend A.A. After receiving the disclosure, Joseph Neuberger charted out the statements of the complainant which demonstrated a number of significant inconsistencies. In addition, disclosure was requested for forensic testing of the bedding as the complainant had alleged sexual acts that would have left DNA. The bedding was seized by police. The testing came back negative for any DNA or biological evidence to support the complainant’s version of events. Further, Joseph Neuberger prepared a memo setting out the deficiencies with the Crown’s case including disclosing several messages and the dating site profile of the complainant noting an age over 20. After several judicial pre-trials, it was agreed that the client would sign a common law peace bond and the Sexual Assault charge, and the Sexual Interference charge were withdrawn.
