Joel Ramocan pleaded guilty to one global count of procuring prostitution involving two adult complainants.
The court had to craft a proportional sentence, distinguishing between procuring prostitution and human trafficking, while acknowledging the defendant's party liability.
The sentencing considered aggravating factors such as the victims' vulnerability, the defendant's awareness of the principal offender's coercive actions, and his criminal record.
Mitigating factors included his guilty plea, rehabilitative efforts, and racialized background.
The court sentenced him to 30 months incarceration, consecutive to his current sentence, along with ancillary orders.
