Stanley man denies sex assault, choking
Spencer Ray, 21, pleads not guilty to indictable Aug. 19 counts of sex-crime, suffocation
A Stanley man accused of sexually assaulting an underage female complainant and choking her while he did so is headed to trial in a year’s time.
Spencer Ray, 21, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Monday to answer to three indictable charges.
He was accompanied by defence lawyer Emily Cochrane, who was acting as an agent for his counsel, T.J. Burke.
Ray is accused of sexually assaulting a girl; choking, suffocating or strangling her in committing that assault; and touching a minor, the same girl, for a sexual purpose with a part of his body.
