Federal Worker Acquitted of Sexual Assault Charges

0:00It's April 23rd, welcome to Calgary News Today, powered by AI. A federal worker from Global Affairs Canada just walked free after getting acquitted on all 11 sexual assault charges in an Ontario courtroom. The case centered on claims from a former Afghan interpreter who worked alongside him at a military base in Kandahar from 2011 to 2. 2013, and later stated his place in Canada. She accused him of assaults during that time, but he denied everything from day one, and the judge saw major holes in her story's credibility. Galal LDN Ali served as a technical adviser there for what was then the Canadian International Development Agency, and the woman remains unnamed. Due to a court-ordered ban, that acquittal came straight from the bench with no written explanation, leaving her separate civil lawsuit for $1,750,000 against him and the government up in the air, with no word yet on appeals or next moves.
