Few details of the incident that prompted the case have been released and a publication ban is in place on the name of the alleged victim.
After a special prosecutor was appointed, Pimm announced he would quit the B.C. Liberal Caucus and sit as an independent while the matter is before the courts.
He is not seeking re-election in next spring’s vote.
