The offender was found guilty of dangerous driving causing bodily harm after crossing the centre line at high speed and causing a head-on collision that resulted in catastrophic injuries to another driver.

The offender had been experiencing significant sleep deficits and fell asleep at the wheel.

The Crown sought a one-year custodial sentence, while the offender sought an 18-month conditional sentence order.

The court found that a conditional sentence would not adequately address the need for deterrence and denunciation, given the offender's choice to drive while severely sleep-deprived.

The offender was sentenced to one year in jail and a three-year driving prohibition.

The accused was charged with multiple counts of assault, assault with a weapon, and sexual assault against his former stepchildren.

The allegations arose during a highly contentious parenting dispute between the accused and his former spouse over their shared child.

The court found significant inconsistencies in the testimony of the complainants and their mother, concluding that the mother had a strong motive to fabricate the allegations to exclude the accused from their child's life.

The court acquitted the accused on all counts due to the lack of credible and reliable evidence.

Additionally, the court ordered the transcripts and decision to be forwarded to the Children's Aid Society due to evidence that the mother had physically abused the complainants.
