The defendant, Waqar Ali, was sentenced after being found guilty of sexually assaulting two young women and assault causing bodily harm to one.
The court considered aggravating factors including the victims' extreme intoxication and vulnerability, the defendant's predatory behavior as an Uber driver constituting a breach of trust, and the significant impact on the victims.
Mitigating factors included the defendant's lack of prior record, family support, and efforts to address mental health and addiction issues.
The court emphasized general deterrence and denunciation, imposing a total sentence of 18 months and 20 days of incarceration, along with a three-year probation order and other ancillary orders.
