Boyle, 34, is due in court Wednesday after appearing earlier this week. He faces charges ranging from two counts of sexual assault to two counts of unlawful confinement, The Toronto Star reported. The obvious jihad sympathizer has also been charged with saying death threats, misleading police, assault and causing someone to "take a noxious thing, namely Trazodone."
Eric Granger, the lawyer for Boyle, spoke to CTV News and said of his client: "This is an individual obviously we all know has been through a lot, is an individual otherwise who hasn't been in trouble before, and he's presumed innocent of these charges."
The alleged crimes by Boyle reportedly happened between October 14 and December 20, The Star reported, citing a court document.
Boyle's wife, 31-year-old Caitlan Coleman, is an American; he is Canadian. They and their three young children were "rescued" on October 11 by Pakistani troops from captivity in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where they were being held by Taliban-linked extremists for five years.
The idiots allegedly went backpacking in Afghanistan in October 2012. Why anyone not wanting to be kidnapped by Islamic extremists would do that is a mystery.
Coleman was seven months pregnant when she and her low-functioning husband were abducted. She claims her captors forced the abortion of her unborn daughter after Boyle allegedly refused to join their terrorist organization. Perhaps he was waiting for a better offer.
After Boyle was arrested, his wife said in a statement to The Star, "I can't speak about the specific charges, but I can say that ultimately it is the strain and trauma he was forced to endure for so many years and the effects that that had on his mental state that is most culpable for this."
It is unclear as to what mental health credentials Coleman has, but she clearly wants her diagnosis to be believed.
She wisely added: "Obviously, he is responsible for his own actions, but it is with compassion and forgiveness that I say I hope help and healing can be found for him. As to the rest of us, myself and the children, we are healthy and holding up as well as we can."
So it's all about her and the family, not about the victims of Boyle's criminal acts. We have to forgive him for being a scum crumpet but they don't need to ask forgiveness to Boyle's victims.
Healing? This moronic family went backpacking in Afghanistan.
I do not for one moment believe that Boyle holds no sympathies for the jihadis.
Remember, Boyle is probably best known for being married to Omar Khadr's older sister, Zaynab Khadr. She is the eldest daughter of Ahmed Said Khadr, who was accused by the U.S. and Canada of being an associate and financier of Al-Qaeda.
Ahmed studied at the University of Ottawa and he and the family moved between Canada, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Zaynab was a staunch defender of her father and brother, Omar Khadr, who was captured with the Taliban in Afghanistan and charged with killing an American soldier when Omar was 15 and held in Guantanamo Bay Detention.

Boyle had a strong interest in national security and human rights after the Islamic terrorist attacks of 9/11.
His friend, Alex Edwards, who lives in Ottawa, said that Boyle was smart and a "crusader" by nature and was captivated by the plight of Omar Khadr.
"Here was this kid, this Canadian child, off in an illegal American prison, and everyone in Canada was vilifying the Khadr family, and Josh decided, 'Hey, this isn't right.' So he went off and devoted several years of his life to help this innocent kid," Edwards said.
Except that Khadr wasn't innocent--he killed an American soldier with a grenade and wounded another.
Boyle at first, had no connection to the Khadr family of terrorists, but introduced himself and volunteered to help them, explained Edwards. Boyle was their spokesperson in 2008 when Zaynab staged a hunger strike to Parliament Hill [in Ottawa] to protest Omar's detention.
Boyle married Zaynab Khadr in 2009 when he was 25 and she was 29. It was Zaynab's third marriage!
Things just didn't seem to work out for her. The first two were arranged marriages. Her first husband was sought as a conspirator in a bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Pakistan.
Her second marriage in Afghanistan had a distinguished guest--none other than Osama bin Laden. In 2004 she made controversial statements about the way Canadian children were raised and suggested that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were justified.
Boyle defended Zaynab's remarks and quoted the Bible, "Let he without sin cast the first stone."
After about ten years at Guantanamo, Omar Khadr was returned to Canada and was awarded a $10.5 million settlement from Trudeau's government for violation of his charter rights. Poor kid.
Several months after his marriage to Zaynab, intruders broke into the home of his parents, Linda and Patrick Boyle. They smashed the front door, ransacked the house and put bullet holes in the windows. Nothing was taken and the Boyles were away at the time. Joshua thinks the break-in was connected to his marriage.
They divorced in 2010 when they were living in Toronto with Zaynab and her daughter from a previous [terrorist] marriage.
The following year, Boyle married Caitlan Coleman--they med on Star Wars fan site. The marriage took place while they were hiking through Central America. It is unknown who presided over the marriage, perhaps a 'person of the cloth,' or perhaps a chipmunk.
In the summer of 2012, they believed they had the experience to handle a backpacking trip to Central Asia, according to a video interview with Coleman's parents, but somehow they ended up in Afghanistan.
I believe that Boyle and Coleman are full of crap. Boyle's buddy Edwards said that he believed Joshua may have been in the process of converting to Islam.
There is no marriage unless Boyle converted . . . period!
