Former CBC broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi's second sexual assault trial will not go ahead in June and will instead be dealt with by a peace bond this week, according to a source close to the case. ......

The 48-year-old's second sexual assault trial was slated to go ahead on June 6, more than two months after he was acquitted of five counts of sexual assault and one count of choking related to three other complainants by Ontario Court of Justice Judge William Horkins.

Crown Attorney Michael Callaghan is expected on Wednesday to withdraw the remaining count of sexual assault that Ghomeshi still faces, according to the source. Before that happens, Ghomeshi will have to sign a peace bond that may include a provision to stay away from the complainant, also a former CBC employee, for at least a year.

The incident is alleged to have happened in 2008.
