The applicant sought a bail review following a denial of bail, arguing a material change in circumstances due to a stronger supervision plan with electronic monitoring and unmet medical needs in custody.

The applicant was charged with weapons offences following a shootout in a residential area.

The court found that the Crown had a strong case and that the tertiary ground for detention was engaged.

The court concluded that releasing the applicant would bring the administration of justice into disrepute, and dismissed the application.

The offender was found guilty of kidnapping, forcible confinement, sexual assault, robbery, assault, and theft.

He kidnapped a 60-year-old vulnerable victim, forced her to drive to a park, and sexually assaulted her.

The Crown sought 9 years' imprisonment, while the defence sought 7 to 8 years.

The court imposed a total sentence of 8 years' imprisonment, less credit for pre-trial custody, noting the offender's lengthy criminal record and the profound impact on the victim.

Several counts were conditionally stayed under the Kienapple principle.
