The highly publicized sexual assault case involving billionaire businessman Frank Stronach is set to appear in court today.
The 87-year-old founder of auto parts giant Magna International is facing charges of sexual assault and forcible confinement, stemming from an alleged incident in December 2018.
According to court documents, the alleged victim, a former employee of Stronach’s, claims that she was sexually assaulted and held against her will at Stronach’s home in Aurora, Ontario.
The case has garnered significant media attention, as Stronach is a well-known figure in the business world and has a net worth of over $1 billion.
Stronach’s lawyer, Brian Greenspan, has maintained his client’s innocence and has stated that Stronach will plead not guilty to the charges.
The case has been delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but is now scheduled to proceed in court today.
The Crown is expected to present their case against Stronach, while the defense will have the opportunity to cross-examine witnesses and present their own evidence.
If found guilty, Stronach could face serious consequences, including imprisonment.
The outcome of this case will have significant implications, not only for Stronach and the alleged victim, but also for the larger conversation surrounding sexual assault and the #MeToo movement.
