The offender, C.R.A., was convicted of sexual assault involving vaginal penetration of an intoxicated and sleeping friend.

The court considered aggravating factors including three prior sexual assault convictions, lack of remorse, and the victim's vulnerability.

Mitigating factors included the offender's history of sexual abuse, struggles with substance abuse, and family support.

Emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, the court sentenced C.R.A. to four years in penitentiary, along with a DNA order, a lifetime weapons prohibition, and a 20-year Sex Offender Registry Order.

This is a child protection matter under Part III of the Child and Family Services Act involving the placement and care of a child (RRH).

The applicant society sought temporary care and custody following fresh allegations of sexual abuse by one of the respondents (RM).

A prior custody order had been made in favour of the respondents based on a risk assessment indicating low risk.

However, new allegations emerged shortly before that order was released.

The court stayed the prior custody order and granted temporary care and custody to the applicant society while ordering supervised access to the respondents pending a full protection hearing.
