Charges of Criminal Harassment x 2, and Threatening x 2 withdrawn prior to setting a trial date, Ontario Court of Justice, Toronto.  M.F.S. was intoxicated one night with his former girlfriend. During an argument about him possibly having been unfaithful to her, she directed M.F.S. to contact via text and phone a former friend of hers to impersonate someone and intimidate and harass the complainant.  This went on for several days during which the complainant contacted police and eventually M.F.S. was identified as the culprit and arrested.  Joseph Neuberger was retained as the criminal defence lawyer to defend the charges.  Joseph Neuberger had an investigator take a statement from M.F.S. former girlfriend, and indeed, she confessed to orchestrating the event and coercing M.F.S. while he was quite intoxicated.  Joseph Neuberger sent the client for therapy as to his susceptibility to such an offence and alcohol counselling.  During the therapy, the forensic psychologist interviewed the former girlfriend who again confirmed her involvement.  Defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger disclosed the therapy report and the interview of the girlfriend to the Crown assigned and it was agreed that the charges would be withdrawn if M.F.S. signed a common law peace bond.  Thus, all charges were withdrawn and M.F.S. signed a common law peace bond.
