The assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence.

Boyle has pleaded not guilty in Ontario court to offences against his wife Caitlan Coleman, including assault, sexual assault and unlawful confinement.

The offences are alleged to have occurred in late 2017, after the couple returned to Canada following five years as captives of extremists who seized them during a backpacking trip to Asia. Coleman's lawyer, Ian Carter, is asking a superior court to review a ruling that allows Boyle to introduce evidence concerning certain consensual sexual activity with his wife.

Judge Peter Doody, who is presiding over Boyle's case, says today that Carter's move automatically suspends the trial while the review plays out. Doody suggests that the review and any subsequent appeals could put Boyle's trial on hold for many months.

Should have left him over there but he’s a buddy of truedopes. Probably on welfare or milking the system

It’s absolutely abhorrent that our judicial system allows this monster off the hook

Boyle and his lovely bride travelled to Afghanistan to become members of the Taliban or Al Quaida, Trudeau allowed this trash back into our country

I dont think past 'consensual' acts should be focused on because theres no proof she did not consent while under duress. In his twisted mind he could believe she concented to being slapped and punched too.

Ngl, dude looks creepy af.

*Alleged hostage. You use 'alleged' even when you are talking about things that was recorded, proven, prosecuted. You should use it re this creature too. No one proved he was held as a hostage.

Please stop referring to him as an ex hostage. It makes him sound like a victim and he is no victim !!

Absolutely disguising, he wasn't a hostage. He voluntarily went on a pilgrimage to meet Jihadis. Why won't you ask his wife about her time as the hostage, Joshua was complicit in abusing her and the children.

Appeal of ruling suspends assault trial for ex-Afghanistan hostage Joshua BoyleThe assault trial of former Afghanistan hostage Joshua Boyle will be delayed for weeks or even months while the courts settle a dispute over whether his sexual history with his wife is admissible evidence. Hope he does time. He's an idiot and he's costing tax payers waaaaay too much money. No wonder his captors let him go. They prolly gave him a first class ticket to leave their country. A Trudeau friend going through the legal system has his trial suspended. This may be on the up and up, but when it comes to Trudeau's inner circle and justice, I can't help but be suspicious.
