A statement from a fourth witness will be permitted in the trial of Jian Ghomeshi, despite attempts by the defence to prevent her testimony from being included.

The judge ruled that the witness should be heard in the form of a police statement. The Crown will file the witness' statement to police, and will be presented in court and made public on Wednesday.

The judge said the "safest course" is to hear the evidence, then determine its value.

The Crown has said that the witness will corroborate testimony given by one of the complainants in the sexual assault trial. The witness would refute the defence's claim that testimony from one of the complainants in his sexual assault trial was fabricated.
