Thirty-two people testified in the trial of accused sexual predator Tony Humby, but he wasn't one of them. The defence rested its case on Friday with Humby opting not to take the stand. Thirty-one of those people testified as the Crown presented its case, while the defence called a single witness on Friday — a social worker who worked closely with one of the complainants who kicked off the case against Humby in 2022. The social worker confirmed the boy had said those things, but later told Crown prosecutor Deidre Badcock she didn't believe him. The social worker said she had a positive relationship with the boy, who was living in a group home at the time.
