Crown stays 6 sexual assault charges against rural Manitoba doctor
Bissonnette was facing six sexual assault charges for alleged assaults on female patients when he worked in Ste. Anne, a town southeast of Winnipeg.The trial was supposed to start last week but was delayed to address evidence that may have been lost or destroyed.The former lead investigator in the case told court last week she kept detailed records in notebooks that she left with the police department when she took a new job in 2019, but defence lawyers say they only got a few pages of notes.
Bissonnette’s lawyers said they were considering their own stay application, citing an abuse of process.Bissonnette is facing another 16 counts of sexual assault that are to be tried separately.
