Shields, 52, was charged with one count of sexual assault in May 2016 and has pleaded not guilty. "In the Crown's submission, the evidence of Mr. Shields does not stack up," Booker said during closing arguments. "The Crown has proven that Mr. Shields has sexually abused (the complainant) beyond a reasonable doubt." The woman has testified Shields told her he had something important to tell her and that she followed him into the washroom she'd never seen, before he locked the door. However, Shields has testified the woman went further and "actively and enthusiastically" had sex with him and made no attempt to escape from the washroom.
