The accused sought judicial interim release (bail) following charges of failing to provide necessaries of life, criminal negligence causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, and multiple counts of assault against his two minor sons over a three-year period.
The Crown sought detention on primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds.
The court found the Crown met its onus on the primary ground due to the serious nature of charges and lack of community ties, and on the tertiary ground based on the horrific nature of the allegations, vulnerability of child victims, and strength of the Crown's case.
The court rejected the secondary ground.
The accused was detained pending trial.
