The accused was sentenced following convictions after a judge-alone trial for multiple violent offences arising from a home invasion, including sexual assault with a weapon, robbery with a weapon, unlawful confinement, break and enter, and possession of property obtained by crime.
The offences involved a home invasion targeting two occupants, during which the accused used a knife, sexually assaulted both victims, and robbed them.
The court considered extensive aggravating factors including the home invasion context, use of a weapon, severe sexual violence, and significant psychological harm to the victims.
Mitigating factors included the accused’s youth, lack of criminal record, supportive family background, and limited expressions of remorse.
Emphasizing denunciation and general deterrence while recognizing the offender’s status as a youthful first offender, the court imposed a global sentence of nine years’ imprisonment with credit for pre‑sentence custody and strict bail conditions.
