Analysis
The sexual assault trial of auto parts billionaire Frank Stronach started well enough for the prosecution.
Opening its case this week before a judge alone, the Crown sketched a preview of seven women complainants who will tell similar stories with common elements that allegedly reinforce the credibility of each other, and reveal Stronach’s alleged pattern of pressuring women into his lakeview apartment in Toronto, then sexually assaulting them despite their tears and refusals.
