The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the disposition for an accused who was previously found not criminally responsible for criminal harassment and uttering threats.
The Board concluded that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to the safety of the public due to his bipolar disorder and substance use history.
While he has made significant progress in a structured hospital environment, his stability in the community has not yet been assessed.
The Board ordered a detention disposition at the Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care, with increased privileges including community passes and a community living clause, subject to strict conditions including abstention from intoxicants and no contact with the victim.
