Charges of Domestic Assault and Failure to Comply X 2 were withdrawn after extensive discussions with the Crown. SG was in a relationship with the Complainant for a few years but separated thereafter. They share custody of their three children. The Complainant alleged that SG assaulted her on one occasion when she came to drop off their daughter at SG’s residence. The Complainant also made two other complaints for violation of bail conditions by SG on two different occasions. Mariya Protsenko and Yuvika Johri of Neuberger & Partners LLP were retained to represent SG against the charges. The Crown was not willing to resolve because SG had been convicted for robbery and manslaughter in the past. After several pre-trial discussions with the Crown, Mariya and Yuvika were able to show that the Complainant’s allegations were false. The Crown reviewed all materials disclosed by the defence and concluded that the Complainant was filing false allegations. Crown withdrew all charges as prosecuting SG was not in public interest.
