The teen boy, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, faced two sex assault charges and one assault charge related to alleged incidents at St. Michael's College School last fall. During a brief hearing in youth court on Wednesday, Crown lawyer Erin McNamara said the prosecution had fully assessed the teen's case and decided to withdraw the charges. Outside court, the teen's lawyer, Brian Heller, said he had expected the resolution for a while.
