The accused was found not criminally responsible (NCR) on charges of sexual assault and committing an indecent act.
The Ontario Review Board held an initial hearing to determine the appropriate disposition.
The Board found that the accused, who suffers from schizo-affective disorder and a substance use disorder, continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public.
Due to a bed shortage at the hospital, the accused had been held at a detention centre.
The Board ordered a detention disposition at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, providing the hospital with flexibility to find appropriate housing that meets the accused's mental health needs while ensuring public safety.
