Frank Stronach will not face jail time for indecent assault conviction, judge says
Prosecutors want the sexual assault verdict restored after a judge granted a rare post-verdict mistrial and Stronach was spared jail on indecent assault.
- Frank Stronach, 94, was sentenced in Toronto for a 1977 indecent-assault conviction, one of the historical offences for which he was prosecuted.
- Prosecutors had sought six months in jail, citing the circumstances of the offence and its reported lasting impact on the complainant, while Stronach’s defence argued for a lesser sentence.
- Stronach will not serve jail time, with the court imposing a sentence that does not require him to be incarcerated.
- The sentencing follows a mistrial on a separate sexual-assault conviction, which prosecutors are appealing, while Stronach is also scheduled to face a jury trial next year involving allegations from six complainants.
