No mistrial for man accused in rave sex assault

By

PORT COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) – A judge has ruled there will not be a mistrial for Dennis Warrington.

He’s accused of posting naked pictures of a 16-year-old who claims she was sexually assaulted at a rave in Pitt Meadows in 2010.

The motion for a mistrial was filed by Warrington’s lawyers after Crown asked for larger and better monitors to be used in court to show the photos. Defence argued they’ve already questioned witnesses using the other equipment and the pictures are going to be used in making crucial identifications.

The judge noted there is plenty of time to recall witnesses and continue with the trial, but did recognize the concerns of the defence were legitimate.

The complainant in the case is set to testify next month now that the case can resume.

Warrington is now the only person charged with possessing and distributing child porn after another accused had his charges stayed.
