One convicted, one acquitted in sex assault at off-campus residence

Darpan News Desk Canadian Press, 16 Sep, 2014 11:31 AM

    SASKATOON - One of the two men accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a University of Saskatchewan off-campus residence has been found guilty.

    Butchang Nkem (Boot-chang Nick-ehm) and Farouq Sadiq were arrested following a complaint by a 20-year-old woman after a New Year's Eve party in Saskatoon in 2012.

    Nkem was convicted on the charge while Sadiq was found not guilty.

    The woman testified at trial that the two men had sex with her in a bedroom.

    But she said that because she had been drugged, she couldn't remember everything.

    Lawyers for both men attacked the woman's credibility, suggesting that she was lying out of shame for having consensual sex during a night of drinking and doing cocaine.
