The court imposed a three-and-a-half-year penitentiary sentence for historical sexual assault against a stepson, prioritizing denunciation and deterrence.
The accused was convicted of historical sexual assault against his stepson (A.B.) and assault against his biological son (C.D.).
The stepson was approximately 14 years old when he was anally penetrated by the accused while asleep in his own bedroom.
The biological son was approximately six years old when the accused forcefully removed his shirt in a closed washroom during a party.
The court imposed a sentence of three and a half years in penitentiary for the sexual assault and 30 days concurrent for the assault, rejecting the defence position for a conditional sentence and accepting the Crown's position that denunciation and deterrence must take precedence.
