Judge finds cop not guilty in alleged rape from 10 years ago

Ontario Justice Anne London-Weinsten has found Toronto policeman Vincenzo Bonazza not guilty of rape in an incident ten years ago because she could be sure about consent. “I have found at times the complainant would substitute what must have happened versus a recollected memory,” the judge told court on Monday. The complainant met Bonazza in 2008 when he was on duty in her neighborhood. He was invited to her apartment where she said he raped her. Bonnaza said it was consensual. The woman told Judge London-Weinstein that she did not report the incident at the time because she was afraid no one would believe her. She later became a member of the Toronto Police Service herself and decided to make a complaint.
