Mitchell Worsoff, a Toronto criminal lawyer, was acquitted of sexual assault charges involving a minor by Judge Robert Wadden of the Ontario Court of Justice. The judge noted significant shortcomings in the testimony of the alleged victim and found "unrefuted evidence" supporting Worsoff's innocence. Acquittals were entered on all charges, which included sexual assault and invitation to sexual touching. Worsoff's lawyer emphasized the impact of wrongful allegations on reputation, reinforcing the judge's conclusion that the claims lacked credibility.
My assessment of Mr. Worsoff's testimony, in the context of all the evidence I heard, I conclude that I believe him. I accept that he did not commit these offences.
Credibility issues with the complainant were significant, which highlights the importance of recognizing the impact such allegations can have on reputation.
