Toronto criminal lawyer Mitchell Worsoff, who is facing serious sex crime charges himself, is representing Canadian Forces corporal Oleksii Silin in a parallel sexual assault trial. Worsoff, charged with offences involving a minor, claims these allegations are "completely false" and will be disproven in court. The situation raises public interest as two individuals involved in sex crime cases intersect, presenting unique ethical and legal implications. However, without intervention from the Law Society of Ontario, Worsoff can continue his legal practice despite the charges.
Legal experts view Worsoff’s situation as unusual but not unlawful. The Law Society of Ontario has the authority to investigate lawyers charged with serious offences and can implement interim measures if necessary. This ensures protection of the public while also allowing lawyers to continue their practice unless direct action is taken against them.
