A young woman testified Monday in the trial against her former boss, who is accused of sexually assaulting her in December 2022.

The woman was 18 years old at the time of the alleged assault and can't be identified because of a court-ordered publication ban.

CTV News is calling her Anne.

Grant Lee Cichacki, 43, was charged in October 2023.

He also faces an additional trial next spring, in which he's accused of sexually assaulting six additional women.

Anne told court she finished her shift at Watchman's Pub on 17th Avenue S.W. on Dec. 27th, 2022, when she, her former manager Cichacki and one of his friends decided to go to Cowboys Dance Hall.
