N.L. man found not guilty of sex charges, judge cites inadequate police investigation

A Newfoundland and Labrador judge has acquitted a man of six crimes, including sexual assault and sexual interference, citing inadequacies in the investigation by the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.In a decision released Friday, Supreme Court Justice Glen Noel said he was also concerned about a lack of corroborating evidence to support the charges against Yosief Tesfamicael.Noel acknowledged that his verdict may “re-traumatize” and “re-victimize” the complainant, who was a minor at the time of the alleged incidents.
