Mustafa Ururyar will not be retried in Mandi Gray sex assault case
(The Star Health)
 


A man whose sexual assault conviction was overturned will not face a new trial, according to the complainant in the case.The case is “getting thrown out,” Mandi Gray told the Star in a direct message on Twitter.Mustafa Ururyar was convicted by a now-retired Ontario Court judge in a controversial 179-page decision that quoted from academic studies and literature about sexual assault. That judge, Marvin Zuker, sentenced Ururyar to 18 months in jail and took the unprecedented step of ordering him to pay $8,000 in legal costs.This past summer, Superior Court Justice Michael Dambrot overturned the verdict on appeal, calling it incomprehensible and illogical and lacking proper reasons for the conviction.The case was sent back to Ontario court and left up to the Crown to decide whether to prosecute the case a second time.A source said the charge will be withdrawn tomorrow in a downtown Toronto courtroom. Mustafa is expected to sign a peace bond that does not include an admission of guilt, but bars him from contacting Gray for a year.Ururyar’s lawyer, Daniel Brown, would not comment but said the matter will be addressed in court Wednesday.With files from Betsy PowellRead more: Judge overturns ‘incomprehensible’ conviction of Mustafa Uruyar for alleged sex assault of Mandi GrayOverturned verdict in Mandi Gray sex assault trial affects all parties, lawyer saysJudge’s ‘unusual approach’ in Mandi Gray sex assault trial questioned
