Charges of Sexual Assault, Sexual Interference and Sexual Exploitation withdrawn at trial after two days of cross examination by Defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger of the complainant.  A.K. was alleged over several years to have sexually abused young lady who came to his house for many years and was friends with A.K.’s children.  Joseph Neuberger, Grace Condello and Mariya Protsenko, were retained as the defence team.   Detailed interviews were done with all family members and then detailed preparation of them for testimony.  Joseph Neuberger meticulously dissected the statement of the complainant in constructing his cross-examination of the complainant.  At trial Joseph Neuberger exposed the implausibility of many of the allegations, the vagueness of the allegations and drew out numerous inconsistencies in addition to establishing that by day two of the cross the complainant had been coached on how to answer questions.  After the cross examination, the Crown took the position that the evidence of the complainant no longer was capable of supporting a reasonable prospect of conviction and as such all charges were withdrawn.
