Eduardo Bohorquez and Qasim Siddiqi were found guilty by a jury of sexual assault with another person contrary to s. 272(1)(d) of the Criminal Code.
The court was tasked with imposing sentence.
The offenders, sexual predators, lured a 19-year-old complainant, S., to Bohorquez's home for non-consensual sexual activity, which they video recorded.
The court rejected the offenders' claims of consent or honest but mistaken belief in consent, emphasizing the power imbalance and the complainant's fear.
The impact on the victim was severe, leading to PTSD and a suicide attempt.
Bohorquez was identified as the leader and more aggressive participant, while Siddiqi was an enthusiastic follower.
The court considered sentencing objectives of denunciation, deterrence, and rehabilitation, noting the aggravated nature of the offence.
Bohorquez was sentenced to 6 years and 4 months imprisonment, and Siddiqi to 3 years and 7 months imprisonment, along with ancillary orders.
