The defendant was found guilty after trial of two breaches of recognizance arising from a single event of being at a hotel overnight.
The Crown sought 30 days custody on each count served concurrently, while the defence sought a conditional discharge with probation.
The court imposed a conditional discharge with two years probation, reporting conditions, counselling as required, and community service, considering the defendant's strong employment and professional prospects as a professional engineer, the collateral consequences of a conviction on his career, and the fact that he had already spent the equivalent of five days in custody.
