NOT GUILTY verdict in Edmonton Mall sex assault case; victims' families in tears

NOT GUILTY verdict in Edmonton Mall sex assault case; victims' families in tears
Excerpt: The complainants, six girls age 13 to 15, accused Hajj Solomon of sexually touching them in the wave pool. Court hears two full weeks of testimony beginning in January and heard from all six girls and 12 other witnesses. Over 40 bikers showed up once again to support the six minor victims; Urban Bulldogs Against Kid Abuse and Guardians of the Children filled the courtroom, lined the walls, and spilled out of the courtroom into the hall. The case came down to identification, with both sides conceding that an assault took place in the wave pool. The judge cited the fact that Hajj Solomon is from a different cultural background from the six complainants as a reason to call into question their identification of him.
