An Ontario Court judge is expected to deliver the verdict Wednesday in the sex assault trial of retired vice-admiral Haydn Edmundson, who is accused of attacking a woman more than 30 years ago. He maintained his innocence throughout the eight-day trial. The verdict in the sex assault trial of retired vice-admiral Haydn Edmundson, who is accused of attacking a woman more than 30 years ago, is set to be delivered Wednesday in an Ottawa courtroom.
Viau said the attack happened inside Edmundson's cabin while the ship was docked at a U.S. navy base on Nov. 8, 1991. At the time of the alleged assault, Edmundson was a lieutenant-commander, the navigator of the ship. Court heard that Viau's duties aboard the ship included waking up officers, including Edmundson, for their night shifts.
She said she lost her composure, yelled and turned on the lights, in part to wake up Edmundson's bunkmate so he could witness the behaviour she had to deal with. Martel noted that Viau also provided a very specific account of what happened the night of the alleged outburst. Martel also rejected the defence's insistence that Edmundson did not have a roommate at the time.
