Jake Raynards' life isn't on hold anymore. The 30 year old gay man was severely beaten in Thunder Bay last October in what his family said was a hate crime. However in the course of the police investigation Raynard himself faced 3 assault and weapons related charges. Raynard says in court this week the issues were resolved. He says the 2 weapons charges were withdrawn and he plead guilty to assault and was given an absolute discharge. Raynard received community support after the attack which included a rally at Waverly Park.
