A 琉璃神社 judge has acquitted four men in the midst of what was intended to be a month-long sexual assault trial for an incident alleged to have occurred in 2018.

Kole Comin, brothers Christian and David Dupas, and Trevor Pereverzoff, were each charged with one count of sexual assault and unlawful confinement following a situation in West 琉璃神社 in June 2018.

On Friday (April 22), Crown prosecutor Patricia O鈥橬eil said that due to the 鈥渇railty鈥� of the memories and evidence her client Y.W. has of the night of the alleged assault, the four men should be acquitted, and that Crown would no longer be pursuing a trial. A 琉璃神社 judge ruled accordingly.

The complainant cannot be named due to a publication ban.

The alleged assaults occurred after an evening involving alcohol consumption. According to Y.W during cross-examination, she experienced some moments of 鈥渂lacking out鈥� and could not remember details of the night.

More to come.
