Charge of Sexual Assault withdrawn prior to setting trial date. M.B. had met a young lady in a group therapy program and began a short relationship. After one night, the complainant contacted police and claimed to have been sexually assaulted. Joseph Neuberger was retained as the defence lawyer. Joseph Neuberger carefully reviewed the complainant’s statement to police and obtained certain records that were relevant to the reliability of the version provided by the complainant. After a series of pre-trials, during which Joseph Neuberger gave defence disclosure of relevant evidence, the Crown eventually agreed to withdraw the charge based upon concerns about reliability and not having a reasonable prospect of conviction.
