STORY: "Closing arguments wrap in Aubrey Levin sex assault trial," reported by CBC Nerws, on January 22, 2013.
GIST: "On Monday, defence lawyer Chris Archer tried to discredit the crown's primary witness, who has a long criminal history and was on probation at the time of the alleged assault. The witness taped the alleged sexual assaults with a hidden camera in 2010. The videos show Levin undoing the man's belt and jeans and appearing to fondle him. Crown prosecutor Bill Wister tried to convince the jury Tuesday that the witness was telling the truth. Wister told the court there is no sugar coating the witnesses' past. "He is who he is," said Wister. The Crown told the jury the videos speak for themselves. Wister described the victims as "sitting ducks" who were preyed upon by someone in a position of power. "What you're seeing in the videos is sexual assault," Wister said. "If it happened only once it's still an offence."......... Court of Queen's Bench Justice Donna Shelley is to give her final instructions to the jury on Friday."
