First week concludes in sex assault trial #1 of Sohil Bindra
LETHBRIDGE, AB – **Warning – graphic content in this article**
In the first of three trials for Lethbridge’s Sohil Bindra, the opening week has concluded, seeing a handful of witnesses testify to the court.
Bindra, who was 33-years-old when he was first arrested on charges of sexual assault and housebreaking, has had six separate complainants come forward about his alleged sex-related actions towards them spanning over the last four years.
Bindra’s Defense Attorney, Andre Ouelette, applied for a “severance of counts” to Judge Eric Peterson to “reduce prejudice about the various counts.” Therefore, Bindra is getting three separate trials over the course of the next few months.
