Regina v. F.L.K. [Provincial Court – May 2013]
FLK was enjoying the company of friends at a local watering hole when their party was interrupted by the attendance of an unknown female. The female took a shine to FLK and the end result was sex and drinks at her place. Six months later the complainant decided to accuse FLK of sexual assault. When apprehended by the police FLK (who had never been in trouble with the police before) proclaimed his innocence but, true to form, he was arrested and charged with sexual assault.
Bottom Line: Patrick Fagan refused to enter a plea relative this prosecution until a senior crown prosecutor had an opportunity to carefully consider all of the circumstances surrounding the allegations of the complainant. In the final analysis the Crown agreed that there was no reasonable likelihood of a conviction and all charges were completely withdrawn.
