Closing submissions on the first sexual violence trial involving accused predator Tony Humby will be heard in provincial court in September.

Humby appeared via video from HMP in provincial court this morning.

During the proceedings, the Crown stressed that it is “imperative” for the ongoing trial to be concluded and for closing submissions to be made, due to Jordan timelines drawing near.

Those closing submissions were initially scheduled for this week, but those had to be pushed back due to delays from the defence.

After a brief back-and-forth, the Crown and the defence settled on September 21st to the 25th to make closing submissions.

All other matters against Humby have been set over for case management on June 25th.
