The Crown applied under section 752.1(1) of the Criminal Code for an order remanding the offender for an assessment by an expert for use as evidence in an application to have the offender declared a dangerous offender or long-term offender.
The offender had been convicted of two counts of sexual assault against his biological daughters.
The court found that the Crown met the low threshold of demonstrating reasonable grounds to believe the offender might be found to be a dangerous offender or long-term offender, based on the offender's extensive criminal record spanning over three decades, pattern of repetitive sexual behaviour, institutional infractions including sexual predatory behaviour, and expert assessments indicating high risk of reoffending.
The court granted the application and ordered the assessment.
