Matthew McKnight, a former promoter for some of Edmonton biggest nightclubs, has been convicted of five of the 13 counts of sexual assault he faced.

After 14 weeks of trial, jurors delivered their verdict just before noon Thursday. McKnight, 33, sat in the prisoner’s box wearing a grey suit and tie. He did not outwardly react to the verdict. After the verdict, he hugged his mother, who sat in the courtroom in tears.

Justice Doreen Sulyma said McKnight is not a flight risk and is under strict conditions. She allowed McKnight to remain out on bail. He will next be in court on Feb. 7 to set a date for sentencing.

McKnight’s case was Edmonton’s highest-profile sexual assault trial of the Me Too era. McKnight pleaded not guilty to all charges, claiming he and the women engaged in consensual sex.

The trial, scheduled to run 48 days, ended up lasting 62. Three of the jurors had to be discharged for other commitments, leaving just 10 for final deliberations — the minimum required for a criminal trial. The jury deliberated for nearly 26 hours before reaching its verdict.
