K. Stein

The accused, previously found not criminally responsible for sexual assault and committing an indecent act, was subject to an annual review hearing by the Ontario Review Board.

The hospital and the Crown recommended continued detention with the addition of travel passes, while the accused sought a conditional discharge.

The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety due to his diagnoses of schizophrenia and substance use disorder, recent rule violations, and the need for monitored transition into the community.

The Board ordered a continuation of the detention disposition with the addition of travel passes.

The accused was found not criminally responsible for several offences, including assaulting peace officers, and was granted a conditional discharge by the court.

At the initial Review Board hearing, the Hospital and the Attorney General sought to continue the conditional discharge, while the accused sought an absolute discharge.

The Review Board found that the accused remained a significant threat to public safety due to a history of medication non-compliance and cannabis use leading to psychotic relapses.

The Board ordered the continuation of the conditional discharge, maintaining the requirement for urine screening but removing unnecessary weapons and no-contact prohibitions.
