Genital mutilation charges dropped against Ontario parents
The Ontario parents of an 11 year old girl faced aggravated assault charges after a 2010 circumcision alleged to have occurred at home. Crown attorney Ann Watson said there was no reasonable prospect of conviction due to uncorroborated evidence and questions about where the procedure occurred. The daughter, now 14, remains in care with Family and Children Services.
