The accused was charged with breaching a Long Term Supervision Order by failing to obey the law and keep the peace, contrary to s. 753.3(1) of the Criminal Code.
The count was severed from a multi-count indictment that included extortion, criminal harassment, and mischief allegations involving the same complainant.
A jury had previously convicted the accused of criminal harassment and mischief arising from the same period.
The court relied on those verdicts and evidence to determine whether the accused breached the supervision condition requiring him to obey the law.
The court concluded that the commission of the underlying offences while subject to the order constituted a breach and entered a finding of guilt.
