The defendant was charged with incest and sexual assault involving his half-sister.
The Crown alleged that on July 30, 2017, the defendant engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with the complainant while she was sleeping.
The defendant claimed the complainant was the aggressor and that he masturbated to end her advances.
The court found the defendant guilty of both offences based on the complainant's credible testimony, corroborated by DNA evidence showing the defendant's semen on and inside the complainant's body.
The defendant's explanation for the DNA evidence was rejected as implausible.
