The accused pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm, and simple assault committed against his former domestic partner in her home on multiple occasions between March and July 2016.
The accused also pleaded guilty to breaching a section 810.2 recognizance by failing to keep the peace and be of good behavior, and by failing to report as required.
The court imposed a global sentence of 2 years and 11 months prior to credit for pre-sentence custody, resulting in 701 days to serve.
The sentencing emphasized the serious nature of domestic violence, the accused's extensive criminal history including prior violent offences, and the need for specific and general deterrence.
