The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for sexual assault.
The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder, had been discharged to the community but experienced a brief relapse into cannabis use requiring a short hospitalization.
The Board accepted the joint position of the parties and the clinical team that the accused remained a significant threat to public safety.
The Board ordered a conditional discharge with existing conditions, modifying the reporting requirement to accommodate the accused's search for employment.
