MO is a successful owner of various restaurants in Scarborough. He was charged with sexual assault after one of his employees alleged that she was sexually harassed and sexually fondled by MO. The accused retained Mr. John Navarrete. Mr. Navarrete obtained the various statements that the complainant had filed with the Human Rights Tribunal and the Ministry of Labour. At trial, Mr. Navarrete during cross examination was able to demonstrate how the complainant’s story had significantly changed on key issues including areas of her body that she now alleged had been touched by MO but that she had never before reported to police or in any other statement. The Crown, witnessing the cross examination, invited the trial judge to dismiss the charge against MO on the first day of trial. Charges against MO were dismissed.
