Billionaire businessman Frank Stronach, who was accused of sexually assaulting several women decades ago, has been found guilty of sexual assault and indecent assault.
|
|
|
Stronach, who is 93, pleaded not guilty to 12 charges stemming from alleged incidents involving seven complainants.
|
|
|
The trial started in February, and by the time arguments wrapped up in April, prosecutors had withdrawn one charge and agreed Stronach should be found not guilty on four more.
|
|
|
The judge overseeing the case, Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy, then said she couldn’t convict the businessman based on the evidence of one of the remaining complainants, whose account she found unreliable.
|
|
|
That left Stronach with five charges related to three complainants.
|
|
|
In a hearing today, Molloy found him guilty on two charges related to two complainants.
