The court convicted the accused of sexual exploitation and sexual assault, finding the complainant credible and the touching sexual in context.
On the totality of the evidence the accused occupied a position of trust as Youth Minister vis-à -vis the 17‑year‑old complainant, and he used that trust and influence to induce sexual activity; therefore the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt sexual exploitation contrary to s.153(1)(a) and sexual assault contrary to s.271 via vitiation of consent under s.273.1(2)(c).
