The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the accused's disposition.

The accused was previously found unfit to stand trial on charges of sexual assault and is detained at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

The Board accepted the psychiatric evidence that the accused remains permanently unfit to stand trial due to treatment-refractory schizophrenia and cognitive deficits.

Finding that the accused remains a significant threat to public safety, the Board ordered the current disposition of detention with community privileges to be continued without change.

The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused previously found unfit to stand trial on three counts of sexual assault.

The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia and an intellectual disability, remains detained at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

Based on psychiatric evidence that the accused's cognitive deficits and psychotic disorder are chronic and unlikely to improve, the Board found he remains unfit to stand trial.

Considering the ongoing risk to public safety, the Board ordered the continuation of his detention on the same terms and conditions.
