The offender was convicted of incest and sexual assault against his daughter, with the offences occurring between the ages of 11 and 15.

The court emphasized the profound breach of trust, the severe physical and psychological impact on the victim, and the need for denunciation and deterrence as per the Friesen framework.

The offender was sentenced to a global penitentiary term of 9 years, alongside non-communication, weapons prohibition, and SOIRA orders.

The offender, a youthful first offender with a traumatic background, was convicted of sexual assault after having unprotected intercourse with the complainant based on an unreasonable mistaken belief in consent.

The court found his moral blameworthiness to be lower than typical major sexual assaults, noting his intoxication and immediate cessation upon realizing the complainant's distress.

Balancing denunciation and deterrence with rehabilitation, the court sentenced the offender to one year of incarceration followed by one year of probation, along with mandatory ancillary orders.
