M. Jetté

The appellant appealed the sentence imposed for prolonged assaults on a vulnerable victim.

The Court of Appeal found no error in principle by the trial judge and held that the sentence reflected the serious nature of the offences and the vulnerability of the victim.

The sentence was not demonstrably unfit, and the appeal was dismissed.

The appellant appealed a disposition of the Ontario Review Board.

The Court of Appeal noted a six-month delay in the delivery of the Board's reasons and urged the Board to deliver reasons promptly in the future.

The Court declined to assess alleged factual errors, noting that a new hearing was scheduled for the following week where counsel could ensure the Board had a proper appreciation of the facts.

The appeal was dismissed.
