This decision concerns the sentencing of M.C. for historical sexual offences against his two daughters, C.B. and N.K., including sexual assault, incest, and gross indecency.
The court considered the fundamental purpose of sentencing, aggravating factors such as the offender's position of trust, the victims' vulnerability (especially C.B.'s disability), and the significant emotional and economic impact on C.B. The Crown sought a 12-year global sentence, while the defence proposed 7 to 9 years.
The court imposed a global sentence of 12 years, finding it proportionate to the gravity of the offences and the offender's high moral blameworthiness.
