One sexual assault charge against billionaire businessman Frank Stronach has been withdrawn ahead of his upcoming trial in Newmarket, according to his lawyer. The development comes as Stronach continues to face multiple charges in separate cases.
Stronach will still face charges involving five other complainants at a trial scheduled for next year. The proceedings are part of a series of legal cases involving allegations against the former auto parts executive.
He is also awaiting sentencing in a separate Toronto case after being found guilty of indecent assault. Prosecutors have also appealed a mistrial ruling involving another conviction, leaving further legal proceedings ahead.
