The offender was convicted by a jury of sexual assault after engaging in non-consensual vaginal intercourse with a friend who was intoxicated.
The Crown sought a four-year sentence, while the defence sought six months followed by probation.
The court rejected the defence's argument that the victim's prior consensual sexual activity with another person mitigated the offender's blameworthiness.
Emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, the court sentenced the offender to three years' imprisonment.
