E.R. was charged with one count of assault against her boyfriend. The allegations were that E.R. and her boyfriend were involved in a verbal dispute at their home in Toronto as a result of E.R.’s having discovered that her boyfriend had been sending naked pictures of himself to other women over the internet. It was alleged that the verbal altercation turned physical and that E.R. grabbed her boyfriend by the thoat and neck, leaving visible bruising and scratches. E.R. denied the allegations and maintained that she was the victim in this matter. As part of their early intervention program, the Crown’s Office offered E.R. a peace bond resolution so long as she completed the PARS program. E.R. refused to accept this proposed resolution as she did not want a restraining order on her record. Jonathan Pyzer represented her in further pre-trial discussions with the Crown Attorney’s Office and was able to convince the Crown to simply withdraw the charges against E.R. upon her doing some upfront counseling. E.R.’s charges were withdrawn without her having to have completed the PARS program or sign a section 810 Peace Bond. As such, there was no admission of guilt and no criminal record.
