The offender was convicted of sexual interference and sexual assault against his teenage daughter.
Applying the Kienapple principle, the court stayed the sexual assault conviction.
In sentencing for sexual interference, the court emphasized denunciation and deterrence, noting the profound breach of parental trust and the significant psychological impact on the child.
The court rejected the defence's request for a conditional sentence, finding the offender lacked insight and posed an unmanageable risk in the community.
The offender was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, followed by two years of probation, and subject to ancillary orders including a 10-year SOIRA order and a 5-year s. 161 prohibition.
