The accused, charged with attempted child abduction, assault, and forcible confinement, brought a bail review application seeking to vacate the strict conditions of his consent release.
The Crown opposed the application, citing the accused's mental health issues and risk of reoffending.
The Superior Court of Justice found a material change in circumstances due to the filing of a direct indictment, the passage of 28 months without breaches, and police evidence suggesting mistaken identity in one of the incidents.
Applying the ladder principle, the court allowed the application in part, deleting the strict house arrest condition while maintaining the other protective terms.
