Canada: Sudbury lawyer charged with sexual assault now headed to Law Society Tribunal

Trial dates are expected to be set June 30 for a Sudbury lawyer charged with sexual assault with two different victims.

A judicial pretrial has been held in the case against Adam Castonguay, 27, who is charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm after what police called a “violent” incident took place. Greater Sudbury Police were called in mid-December to investigate, and charged Castonguay in January this year.

He has also been charged with forcible confinement and assault in a separate incident involving another victim. The court heard the assault charge may be resolved June 8, however.

Meanwhile, the Law Society Tribunal will hold a hearing June 14-15 to decide whether they will suspend Castonguay’s licence.
