Sex-assault trial set for Oromocto man
Andrew McGregor, 40, faces sex-crime allegation dating back five years in model town
A jury will hear the case of an Oromocto man accused of a sexual assault from five years ago next fall.
Through legal counsel, Andrew McGregor, 40, of Hallihan Drive, elected this summer to be tried before a Court of King’s Bench judge and jury on an indictable count of sexual assault, alleging an offence in Oromocto between Jan. 3 and Dec. 21, 2018.
The file was before the Court of King’s Bench at the Burton Courthouse on Tuesday for motions day to schedule the trial.
McGregor wasn’t present for the proceedings, but lawyer Alexandra Yousseff, appearing as an agent for defence lawyer Nathan Gorham, was in court on the defendant’s behalf.
Justice Thomas Christie noted the jury trial will be held Sept. 10, 2024, and is scheduled to last four days.
A pre-trial conference will also be held Oct. 12.
