The accused pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault and one count of assault causing bodily harm.

The first sexual assault occurred against an adult woman jogging in a public place.

The second sexual assault and assault causing bodily harm occurred against a 14-year-old girl walking home from school through a wooded area.

The Crown sought a global sentence of 7.5 years; the defence sought 2.5 to 3 years.

The court imposed a global sentence of 58 months (4 months for the assault on the adult and 4 years 6 months concurrent for the offences against the minor, consecutive to the first offence), with credit for 18 months of pre-trial custody, resulting in a net sentence of 40 months.

Ancillary orders included lifetime SOIRA registration, firearm prohibition, DNA orders, no-contact orders, and 20-year s. 161 restrictions.

The accused pleaded guilty to two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking in fentanyl and cocaine, two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon, and two counts of possession of a prohibited weapon while subject to a weapons prohibition order.

Police executed a search warrant and found 1.9 gm of fentanyl powder (mixed with heroin), 4.6 gm of cocaine, 0.7 gm of crack cocaine, 220 gm of cannabis, 3 MDMA pills, packaging materials, and over $11,000 in cash.

The accused had a lengthy criminal record, serious drug addiction, and significant personal challenges including intergenerational trauma.

The court imposed a 21-month sentence consisting of time served plus 9 months and 26 days, followed by 18 months of probation, balancing denunciation and deterrence against rehabilitation prospects and section 718.2(e) considerations.
