The offender was convicted by a jury of three counts of sexual assault against two female colleagues in their workplace.

The offences involved unwanted sexual touching, including grabbing the victims' breasts and buttocks, and grinding against one victim.

The court found the offences were aggravated by the workplace setting, the multiplicity of incidents, and the offender's exploitation of his managerial position.

The court sentenced the offender to a total of 6 months' imprisonment, to be served consecutively for each count, followed by 18 months' probation and ancillary orders.

The accused was convicted of two counts of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime, and breach of probation.

The Crown sought a sentence of two years less a day, while the defence sought 9 to 12 months.

The court noted the accused's extensive criminal record, ongoing addiction, and lack of remorse or rehabilitative efforts.

Emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, the court imposed a global sentence of 15 months' incarceration, along with a weapons prohibition, a DNA order, and forfeiture of seized items.

The accused was charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime, and breach of probation after police executed a search warrant at her apartment.

Police found 5.29 grams of cocaine on her person, 17.68 grams in a safe in her bedroom, and over $2,000 in cash.

The accused claimed the drugs on her person were for personal use and that she was unaware of the drugs in the safe, which she alleged belonged to a friend.

The court rejected the accused's evidence as implausible, finding that the quantity of drugs, cash, and digital scales were consistent with trafficking.

The accused was found guilty on all counts.
