The offender pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping after playing a minimal role in the confinement of an international student for ransom.
The Crown sought 10 to 12 years' imprisonment, while the defence sought a conditional sentence.
The court considered the offender's minimal participation, her status as a first offender, her history of trauma, and her diagnoses including Borderline Personality Disorder.
Emphasizing proportionality and rehabilitation, the court imposed a 22-month conditional sentence followed by three years of probation.
