“I find Mr. Ghomeshi not guilty.”
The highly anticipated ruling, delivered by Ontario Court of Justice Judge William Horkins on the morning of March 24, cleared Jian Ghomeshi, former CBC radio host, of four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking. The judge stated that the complainants, two women who remained anonymous and formerTrailer Park Boys actress Lucy DeCoutere, were “less than full, frank and forthcoming” in their testimony and could not be considered credible.
