The defendant pleaded guilty to common assault after initially facing a sexual assault charge.
The assault occurred at the defendant's residence during a party where the defendant, then 20 years old, engaged in non-consensual sexual contact with the complainant, a 15-year-old friend of his younger sister.
The defendant partially inserted his penis into the complainant's vagina without consent on two separate occasions despite her explicit objections.
The court imposed a 90-day intermittent jail sentence (served on weekends) followed by two years of probation with strict conditions including no contact with the complainant or her family, a 200-metre exclusion zone, and mandatory counselling on relationships and consent.
A five-year weapons prohibition was also imposed.
