The offender pleaded guilty to touching a person under the age of 16 for a sexual purpose.

The offence involved a 15-year-old victim whose family was close friends with the offender's family.

The court accepted a joint submission from counsel, emphasizing denunciation and general deterrence while noting the offender's guilty plea and lack of prior record as mitigating factors.

The offender was sentenced to two years less a day of imprisonment, followed by three years of probation, along with ancillary orders including a 20-year SOIRA order and a section 161 prohibition.

The accused was convicted of sexually assaulting a highly intoxicated complainant who lacked the capacity to consent.

The Crown sought a sentence of three to five years, while the defence sought 12 months.

The court considered the predatory nature of the offence, the accused's concocted story to police, and mitigating factors including his youth, lack of criminal record, and good employment history.

The court sentenced the accused to 28 months' imprisonment, along with a 10-year weapons prohibition, a DNA order, a no-contact order, and a 20-year Sex Offender Registry order.

The offender was sentenced for multiple offences, including aggravated assault and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, after trespassing on the victim's property and repeatedly attacking him with an ATV.

The unprovoked attack left the victim with catastrophic, life-altering injuries, including a traumatic brain injury.

Considering the offender's extensive criminal record and the devastating impact on the victim, the court imposed a total sentence of 5 years' imprisonment, along with a 15-year driving prohibition and a lifetime weapons prohibition.
