A young person charged with serious offences including kidnapping, aggravated assault, and forcible confinement (December 2018), and subsequently charged with firearm and drug trafficking offences (August 2019), sought release on bail with proposed sureties.
The Crown sought detention on secondary and tertiary grounds under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The court found that the proposed release plan was inadequate to protect the public and that exceptional circumstances warranted detention to maintain confidence in the administration of justice.
The young person was detained in custody.
