The offender pleaded guilty to four offences: exercising control over a person for sexual services, receiving a material benefit from sexual services, advertising sexual services, and sexual assault.

The offender exploited a vulnerable 22-year-old woman by forcing her into sex work, taking a percentage of her earnings, and sexually assaulting her.

The court imposed a global sentence of four years, reduced to one year net after crediting 1,074 days of pre-sentence custody at a 1.5:1 ratio and applying a one-year reduction for egregious remand conditions.

The court also imposed ancillary orders including DNA collection, lifetime weapons prohibition, non-communication order, 20-year SOIRA registration, and forfeiture order.

The accused, charged with drug trafficking offences, brought pre-trial motions alleging violations of their s. 8 Charter rights.

One accused challenged the warrantless obtaining of his Airbnb booking information and the subsequent warrantless entry into the unit where drugs were found.

The court held there was no reasonable expectation of privacy in the booking information due to Airbnb's privacy policy, and that exigent circumstances justified both the information request and the entry to secure the drugs.

The other accused challenged a tracking warrant, arguing the Information to Obtain (ITO) was insufficient and misleading.

The court found the ITO provided ample basis for the warrant and was not misleading.

The court further held that even if there were Charter breaches, the evidence would not be excluded under s. 24(2).

The motions were dismissed.

The accused pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing death and five counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm after driving at high speeds through a red light in downtown Toronto while intoxicated.

The collision killed one pedestrian and severely injured five others.

The court sentenced the accused to 8 years' imprisonment for the death and 4 years concurrent for the bodily harm counts, minus 1,135 days of enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody and harsh lockdown conditions.

A 12-year driving prohibition was also imposed.
