The appellant appealed his designation as a dangerous offender and indeterminate sentence following convictions for four counts of break and enter and sexual assault against elderly women.
He argued the trial judge erred in assessing his risk to re-offend, rejecting pharmacological treatment and community supervision, and failing to consider his age.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's reliance on expert evidence that the appellant posed a substantial risk to re-offend and that his risk could not be reasonably managed in the community.
