The defendant pleaded guilty to three breaches of a Long-Term Supervision Order (LTSO), which stemmed from his contact with his intimate partner, the complainant, and violation of geographic and residency conditions.
The court considered aggravating factors, including a lengthy criminal record with multiple intimate partner violence convictions and prior breaches of court orders.
Mitigating factors included a guilty plea, which spared the complainant from testifying, and evidence of rehabilitation efforts from his parole officer.
The court emphasized denunciation, specific deterrence, and public protection, while also balancing rehabilitation.
A penitentiary sentence of three years was imposed, with credit for pre-sentence custody and collateral consequences of COVID-19.
The court also issued a DNA order, a lifetime weapons prohibition, and a communication prohibition with the complainant.
