APPEAL from a judgment of the Ontario Court of Appeal (2001), 57 O.R. (3d) 296, 160 C.C.C. (3d) 52, 152 O.A.C. 162, 48 C.R. (5th) 247, [2001] O.J. No. 4749 (QL), allowing the accused’s appeal from his conviction for sexual assault. Appeal dismissed.

The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by
1 Iacobucci J. — This is an appeal as of right. We are all of the view that, for substantially the reasons of Doherty J.A. in the Ontario Court of Appeal ((2001), 57 O.R. (3d) 296), the trial judge did not err in finding the similar fact evidence inadmissible. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
Judgment accordingly.
Solicitor for the appellant: The Ministry of the Attorney General, Toronto.
Solicitors for the respondent: Ruby & Edwardh, Toronto.
