The appellant appealed a 10-year sentence imposed for sexual interference, breach of probation, and breach of prohibition.
At trial, the Crown and defence had presented a joint submission for a 7-year sentence, which the trial judge rejected.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, finding that the trial judge erred by not following the joint submission and by imposing a demonstrably unfit sentence that ignored the facts of the offence.
The sentence was reduced to the jointly submitted 7 years.
