EDMONTON — An appeal by a former Edmonton nightclub employee who was found guilty of sexually assaulting five women has been dismissed.
Matthew McKnight, who is in his mid-30s, was accused in 13 sexual assaults between 2010 and 2016, when he was an assistant manager and promoter working for the owner of several bars and nightclubs.
It suggested that undermined his constitutional and statutory rights, and resulted in an unfair trial and miscarriage of justice.A panel of three judges with the Court of Appeal heard the matter in June 2021 and released its decision dismissing both grounds of the appeal Monday. The Crown has also appealed McKnight’s sentence on the ground that it was “demonstrably unfit,” which the document notes is still outstanding.
