'A judge has acquitted a Toronto teacher of sexually assaulting a former student when he was 15.

Ontario Superior Court Justice John McMahon delivered his verdict Friday.

The complainant “may have been telling the truth” but his evidence was inconsistent, both internally and with some of the facts, McMahon said

“It is unsafe in law to base a conviction on his evidence,” the judge said.

While McMahon found the teacher to be largely credible, he said Gowans showed poor judgment in getting so close to her former pupil, and could not accept that she had no idea he was sexually obsessed with her.'
