The Crown brought a dangerous offender application following the offender's convictions for gang sexual assault, choking, forcible confinement, and uttering threats.
The offender had a lengthy criminal record involving extreme violence, often committed while intoxicated, and was diagnosed with likely schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder, and substance use disorders.
The court found the offender met the criteria for a dangerous offender designation under s. 753(1)(a)(ii) of the Criminal Code.
Concluding that the offender's risk of violent recidivism was intractable and could not be adequately managed in the community on a long-term supervision order, the court imposed an indeterminate sentence.
