The applicant sought bail pending an extradition hearing arising from allegations of online sexual communications with minors, extortion, and recorded sexual acts.
The court held that although the Crown's case was strong and the allegations were grave, strict release terms, house arrest, sureties, reporting, internet prohibitions, and prior compliance with similar bail conditions sufficiently addressed the secondary ground.
Applying the tertiary ground framework, the court found public confidence in the administration of justice would not be undermined by release, particularly given the applicant's earlier compliance on bail in related domestic proceedings.
Bail was granted on stringent conditions.
