Former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi, charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of "overcome resistance - choking", has been released on $100,000 bail.

According to a press release, Toronto Police say Ghomeshi, 47, voluntarily surrendered to police Wednesday morning. In a 25-minute hearing Wednesday afternoon, Ghomeshi was formally charged. His next court appearance will be Jan. 8.

Under terms of his release, Ghomeshi must turn over his Canadian passport and live with his mother in Toronto. His mother is his surety.

Ghomeshi left the courthouse in a crush of media without saying a word. However, his lawyer, prominent criminal defence attorney Marie Henein, is quoted as saying that Ghomeshi will plead not guilty to the charges.

"We will address these allegations fully and directly in a courtroom," Henein said. "We will not be making any further media statements, nor will Mr. Ghomeshi be making any further media statements."

 

[Canuck eh?]

He needs to drum up some funds, that's for sure.

I heard he's touring with Bill Cosby.

Not guilty on all charges.

Defence lawyer ruined the alleged victims' lives on the stand. She was ruthless and their stories were pretty flimsy. There were so many instances of further cordial contact and photos of the alleged victims with Ghomeshi after the alleged incidents occurred.

I don't know who's right and who's wrong here, but I hope I don't have to see his face ever again.

One of the accusers also had another sexual encounter after the alleged incident with Ghomeshi and this is how she explained that:

Agreed. I find it hard to believe that so many victims came forward to go through all this shit just to harass an innocent man. Just doesn't seem reasonable to me. However, the evidence, as presented by the Crown was poorly organized and didn't seem to fit.

At any rate I hope he just fucks off and these women can find some peace after all this shit.

Given all the evidence that was brought forth during the case, I'm actually kinda stunned the Crown even bothered prosecuting at all. No judge was ever going to send him to prison based on the evidence given.

Sadly, he has another case pending for June. Another accuser who worked at the CBC. So we're stuck with him at least until then, longer if he does go to trial with the CBC for compensation (which he 100% will if he is found not guilty on the next charge).

He'll probably end up making a cameo on Schitt's Creek.
