Sixth complainant to continue testifying at Frank Stronach’s sexual assault trial
Judge Anne Molloy expressed concern that the complainant's frequent interruptions and tangents may hinder a fair cross-examination in Frank Stronach’s sexual assault trial.
- On Feb. 26, 2026, the sixth complainant, a 73-year-old woman, continued testifying in a Toronto courtroom as the trial, which began early this month after delays, remains underway.
- Frank Stronach has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from incidents dating back to the 1970s, including an alleged incident at Rooney's on Valentine's Day 1986 and his Harbourfront condo.
- The witness described that at the condo Stronach reappeared naked and urged her toward the bed, then unzipped her pants and raped her after she resisted; she later identified him from a Toronto Star photo.
- On Wednesday prosecutors withdrew one forcible confinement count related to the complainant while Crown prosecutor Jelena Vlacic and Ontario Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy urged the witness to stay focused in the Toronto courtroom.
- Frank Stronach's prominence as Magna International's founder amplifies public interest, and the trial's sexual assault charges may affect survivors of sexual violence and the broader public.
