The offender was convicted of multiple counts of assault, assault with a weapon, aggravated assault, and mischief against his intimate partner and her son over a 15-month period.
The assaults caused permanent and life-altering injuries to the partner, including facial disfigurement.
The Crown sought a global sentence of 5 years imprisonment, while the defence sought a suspended or minimal custodial sentence.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence but also considered the offender's youth, lack of criminal record, and rehabilitative potential.
The offender was sentenced to a global custodial term of two years less a day, followed by three years of probation.
