R. v. L.G.

Mr. Shapray’s client was notified that he was being placed under investigation for a historical allegation of sexual assault at a work event over 15 years earlier.  The client still worked at the same company and was placed on a leave and also notified that there would be an internal investigation. Mr. Shapray managed both investigations and put together a team which included a skilled employment lawyer to assist with some of the work investigation issues.  Considerable pressure to cooperate with the police and investigators resisted as strategic decisions made along the way.  Ultimately the police CLOSED THE FILE and determined that the allegations did not have merit.  Employer rescinded leave and offered client his job back as well.  – NOT GUILTY
