A Sudbury lawyer who is awaiting a verdict in his sexual assault case was to face the Law Society of Ontario on Aug. 23, but the hearing has been rescheduled for Oct. 6.
Called an “interlocutory order” that restriction was then removed by the Law Society in August 2021, and recently, a Notice of Motion filed by the LSO on July 14 accused Castonguay of breaching the August 2021 Law Society order that prohibited him from attending any place where he knows the complainant in the sexual assault case works.
Castonguay has been charged by Greater Sudbury Police for breach of release restrictions relating to the assault case. He appeared in assignment court on Aug. 16, and will reappear on Sept. 7 for that charge. The alleged victim in Castonguay’s sexual assault case is also suing him in a Sault Ste. Marie court, seeking $13 million in damages.
