The Crown applied to have the offender declared a dangerous offender and sentenced to an indeterminate period of incarceration following guilty pleas to sexual assault and sexual touching of a minor.
The offender, an Aboriginal man with a hebephilic preference and a history of substance abuse, argued for a determinate sentence followed by a long-term supervision order.
The court found that while the offender met the criteria for a dangerous offender, there was a reasonable possibility of eventual control of his risk in the community through intensive treatment, including sex-drive reducing medication.
The court designated him a long-term offender and sentenced him to an additional 2 years in a federal penitentiary, followed by a 10-year long-term supervision order.
