Prominent owner\/breeder Frank Stronach was found guilty on charges of indecent assault and sexual assault June 19 by Ontario (Canada) Superior Court\u00a0Justice Anne Molloy, according to the Toronto Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The newspaper reported that Stronach was found guilty on two of five charges considered by the court. His sentencing is delayed until Sept. 17.<\/p>\n

Stronach, 93, of Aurora, Ontario, is a four-time Eclipse Award winner as outstanding owner and the breeding operation he founded, Adena Springs, is a seven-time winner as outstanding breeder; he earned another outstanding breeder under his own name. Stronach, through companies he controlled,\u00a0also once owned multiple tracks including Santa Anita Park<\/a>, Gulfstream Park<\/a>, and the Maryland Jockey Club.<\/p>\n

The case goes back to June 2024 when Stronach was arrested and charged with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault on a female, one forcible confinement, and two counts of sexual assault. A release from Peel Regional Police of Ontario at the time of the arrest said the incidents dated from the 1980s-2023.<\/p>\n

On Friday the Toronto Sun reported additional charges would grow to 12 before prosecutors decided to proceed with seven charges from four women involving incidents from 1977-1990. Another case involving two other charges continues, the paper reported.<\/p>\n

At the time of his arrest, an attorney for Stronach said he denied the charges brought against him.<\/p>\n

In its reporting Friday, the Toronto Sun said the indecent assault charge (involving complainant “V.T.”) dated to the fall of 1977 and occurred at Stronach’s apartment. The paper reported the sexual assault involved complainant “A.S.,” who was a cocktail waitress and occurred sometime between Jan. 4, 1983, and Dec. 31, 1984, at Stronach’s condo.<\/p>\n

Stronach, who did not testify at the Toronto trial, pleaded not guilty to all the charges the paper reported, noting this was not a trial by jury as Stronach elected to stand trial before Molloy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prominent owner\/breeder Frank Stronach was found guilty on charges of indecent assault and sexual assault June 19 by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[308401,28,308404,308403,308400,308411,308405,2091,308409,308407,308402,252167,308406,308399,308410,2818,308412,308408],"class_list":["post-715412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-adena-springs","tag-business","tag-eclipse-award","tag-frank-stronach","tag-gulfstream-park","tag-incidents-1977-1990","tag-indecent-assault","tag-international","tag-june-19-verdict","tag-justice-anne-molloy","tag-maryland-jockey-club","tag-ontario-superior-court-of-justice","tag-peel-regional-police","tag-santa-anita-park","tag-sentencing-sept-17","tag-sexual-assault","tag-thoroughbred-breeding","tag-toronto-sun"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
