Sentencing for two sexual assaults committed against the same complainant in the context of a dating relationship, together with a breach of probation.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence, treated the domestic nature of the offences, the offender's prior robbery record, and the complainant's victim impact as aggravating factors, and weighed the guilty plea, remorse, family support, employment history, and substance abuse efforts as mitigating factors.
The court gave significant mitigating effect to almost two years of strict bail terms akin to house arrest, including confinement to the home and prohibitions on computer and cellphone use.
A custodial sentence of 18 months less 13 months' credit was imposed, followed by probation and ancillary orders.
