Assault trial begins for Joshua Boyle, former Afghanistan hostage
Joshua Boyle is escorted by authorities to a media availability at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Oct. 13, 2017.
Crown lawyer Meaghan Cunningham opened Boyle's trial in Ontario court Monday by saying that given the unusual and difficult experiences Caitlan Coleman has endured, it would be a mistake to conclude she was a willing participant in her husband's physical and sexual abuse. Pakistani forces freed the couple in October 2017 along with their three children, who were born during their captivity.Two months later Boyle was arrested by Ottawa police and charged with offences including assault, sexual assault, unlawful confinement and causing someone to take a noxious substance.
