R. v. DR. U.

The accused, Dr. U. was charged with one count of sexual assault. It was alleged that Dr. U., had met the complainant, a potential client two years prior to the incident being reported to police. It was alleged that they had met in the context of a potential patient and doctor relationship, as the complainant was interested in breast augmentation and micro dermabrasion treatment. It was alleged that during their first in-person meeting Dr. U. took the complainant out for lunch, following which he took her to a hotel and paid for a room. Allegedly the complainant was under the impression that they were in the hotel room to conduct a consultation for the surgeries she was interested in. Once in the hotel room it was alleged that Dr. U sexually assaulted the complainant, forcing her to have intercourse without her consent. The complainant claimed that was the only time she had had any contact with the accused. Jonathan Pyzer represented Dr. U. and was successful at having him found not guilty on all charges. The defence secured evidence proving that the complainant had lied in her statement to the police which was used by the defence at trial. Mr. Pyzer was successful in having the charges against Dr. U. dismissed at trial.
