The Crown brought an application under section 752.1(1) of the Criminal Code to remand the respondent for an assessment to determine whether he should be declared a dangerous or long-term offender.
The respondent had recently been convicted of two counts of sexual assault and had a lengthy criminal record including prior sexual offences.
The court reviewed the respondent's history, psychological reports, and Gladue factors, concluding that there was a pattern of repetitive behaviour showing a substantial degree of indifference to the consequences of his actions.
The court found reasonable grounds to believe the respondent might be found to be a dangerous or long-term offender and ordered the assessment.
