Police officers found not guilty in TO rape case of female colleague

Three Toronto police officers have been found not guilty of sexually assaulting a female colleague with whom they had been partying and drinking after an Ontario judge found there were inconsistencies in the woman's account of that night.

Leslie Nyznik, Joshua Cabero and Sameer Kara had pleaded not guilty in connection with the alleged incident on Jan. 17, 2015.

Nyznik, the only accused to testify, told court it was the female colleague's idea to return to a hotel room rented out by two of the accused where she instigated sex with all three men.

The woman — a parking enforcement officer whose identity is protected by a publication ban — had testified she had several drinks during the course of the night and felt powerless and unable to move or speak when the three men had sex with her against her wishes.
