The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for sexual assault.
The accused, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, was living in the community under a conditional discharge.
The treatment team reported that the accused was doing well, maintaining employment, and complying with treatment, though he continued to require support to manage stressors related to relationships and housing.
All parties jointly submitted that the accused remained a significant threat to public safety but that his risk could be managed in the community.
The Board agreed, finding that the accused remained a significant threat, and ordered the continuation of the conditional discharge on the same terms.
