The National Post reports in its Tuesday edition that sexual assault charges against Magna International founder Frank Stronach involving three of his accusers have been dropped by the Crown due to insufficient evidence to secure a conviction. The Post's Joseph Brean writes that Crown prosecutor Jelena Vlacic announced the decision Monday, in advance of the defence calling its witnesses. The Crown's prosecution evidence came to a close last week. One dropped complainant had an emotional breakdown on the witness stand, providing evidence that was so "garbled" that Judge Anne Molloy excused her from cross-examination. On her second day of testimony, a woman appeared to apologize for lying to the court about not reading a key media account of an alleged sexual assault by Mr. Stronach. The prosecutors faced backlash for allowing this false testimony into the record, leading to a reprimand from Judge Molloy. Another was revealed in cross-examination to have an extensive history of controversial business litigation involving what a civil judge has described as her deceit and dishonesty, and a more recent instance of allegedly falsely reporting to police that a man she had a dispute with threatened to kill her.
