- Background: Stronach, 93, faces 12 charges including sexual assault and forcible confinement, with allegations from 1977 to 1990 including one in suburban Scarborough; two counts are historical after the 1983 Criminal Code amendment.
- Under cross-examination, defence lawyer Leora Shemesh challenged the witness's earlier statements, noting she said she didn't believe she had been sexually assaulted in September 2024, which she explained was about not having had intimate sex.
- Following a case split, Stronach faces a separate Newmarket trial later this year, with the judge-alone proceeding overseen by Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy, and seven complainants expected to testify.
- None of the complainants can be identified under a publication ban, and the accused's ties to Magna International generate public interest while coverage may affect survivors.
