Following a jury conviction on six counts including sexual exploitation of a young person, sexual assault, and assault involving members of the offender’s family, the court imposed sentence.
The offender repeatedly sexually abused his step‑daughter over several years and sexually assaulted his spouse, while also exercising coercive and violent control over the household.
The court considered aggravating factors including breach of trust, the victim’s age, repeated conduct, grooming, and significant psychological harm to family members.
Applying sentencing principles of denunciation and deterrence and the range identified in comparable appellate authorities, the court imposed a global custodial sentence.
The Kienapple principle required a conditional stay of one sexual assault conviction as duplicative of the sexual exploitation count.
