A British Columbia judge says trial delays for a man accused of sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl went beyond a “ceiling” set by the Supreme Court of Canada as he stayed the case more than two years after charges were laid.
Provincial court Judge Mayland McKimm says in a decision released in May that the man was accused of sexually assaulting the child at his family home when she and her mother attended a “pre-Christmas festive meal” in December 2021.
