K'naan Acquitted in Sexual Assault Case | Montreal News

K’naan, the global star behind “Wavin’ Flag,” has been acquitted of a 2010 sexual assault charge after a tense trial in Quebec. The case, which centered on an alleged incident in a hotel room, saw K’naan insist he was innocent and that any activity the next morning was consensual. Judge Julie Roy found the prosecution failed to meet the high bar of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt — sealing his not guilty verdict. The decision closes a long legal chapter for the artist, whose career soared with hits like “Refugee” and international acclaim, allowing him to move forward unburdened by this chapter.
