The accused was sentenced following conviction for assault causing bodily harm in a domestic violence context.
The court imposed a sentence of seven months imprisonment (credited as seven months and eight days with pre-sentence custody), followed by three years of probation.
The sentence took into account the accused's extensive criminal history involving violent offences dating back to 2007, the domestic nature of the assault, and the demeaning and violent manner in which the assault was perpetrated.
The court credited the accused minimally for time spent on bail release conditions.
The probation order included conditions requiring the accused to keep the peace, report to a probation officer, attend domestic violence counselling programs, maintain no contact with the victim, and remain at least 100 metres from places the victim frequents.
A lifetime weapons prohibition was imposed under section 109 of the Criminal Code, and a DNA order was made.
A $200 victim fine surcharge was imposed with one year to pay.
