“Gray was very credible and trustworthy. I accept her evidence,” Ontario Court Justice Marvin Zuker told a courtroom. “Rape it surely was.”

Mustafa Ururyar was charged with sexual assault for raping Gray, 28, and forcing her to perform oral sex in his apartment in the early hours of Jan. 31, 2015. Ururyar pleaded not guilty in the judge-only trial and testified that the sex was consensual. The Crown chose to proceed by summary conviction, which means the penalty Ururyar will face is much lower than the maximum 10 years for an indictable offence. But as a result, the case took less time to get to trial.

Zuker said in his ruling that he did not believe Ururyar’s testimony, describing it as a “feeble attempt in hindsight” to clear his name.

“I stress his version is without reality. It never, never happened,” Zuker said. “It was a joke. A fabrication. I must and do reject his evidence.”

The courtroom burst into applause after he delivered the final lines of his judgment: “The Crown has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt. I therefore find Mr. Ururyar guilty of the charge before the Court.”

Gray said in a statement posted to Facebook that while both the judge and Crown did a good job in handling her case, this “should not be out of the ordinary.”

“It’s really sad that the legal system is quite literally doing what it’s supposed to and we’re all shocked. I think that says a lot.” Gray said outside court. “I am tired of people talking to me like I won some sort of rape lottery.”
