The accused was charged with break and enter and sexual interference after an intruder entered an eight-year-old boy's bedroom in the middle of the night and kissed him.
The Crown's case relied on circumstantial evidence, including CCTV footage, a fingerprint on the window, the accused's diary entries, and similar fact evidence of other nearby break-ins.
The court applied the Villaroman framework and concluded that the only reasonable inference was that the accused was the intruder.
The court further found that the act of sneaking into a child's bed to kiss him was done for a sexual purpose.
The accused was found guilty of both charges.
