Where Brampton sexual assault cases are heard
Charges laid by Peel Regional Police in Brampton are heard at the A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse, 7755 Hurontario Street, Brampton, ON L6W 4T1. Most cases begin in the Ontario Court of Justice. Where the Crown proceeds by indictment, you may be able to choose a trial in the Superior Court of Justice, with or without a jury.
What to know about the charge
Sexual assault is an offence under s. 271 of the Criminal Code. The Crown must prove touching of a sexual nature without consent, and consent must exist at the time of the activity. Strict evidence rules about the complainant's prior sexual activity and private records (s. 276 and ss. 278.1 and following) often shape the case before trial. Read our full guide to sexual assault charges, penalties and defences.
Bail and release conditions
Conditions usually bar contact with the complainant and may keep you away from your home or certain places. If your conditions are unworkable, we can seek changes through the Crown or a bail review.
