So often people do not have the support or the ability to bring something like this to trial. I applaud their fortitude and that of those who have supported and helped them.
An Ontario judge has convicted a man of drugging and sexually assaulting two Canadian figure skaters, calling his ''patently absurd.''''I can't believe any of his evidence, nor do I,'' Mr. Justice Todd Archibald said in his hourlong oral judgment yesterday.
Outside the court, the {skater} man said he was ecstatic at the outcome. "Hopefully he'll get what he deserves at the sentencing," he said, adding that the process of going to police and testifying at trial "is well worth it."
Crown attorney Sue Orlando indicated to the judge she will likely seek a penitentiary term of more than two years.
