The offender was found guilty by a jury of one count of sexual assault.
The sentencing judge found the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the offender administered THC to the victim to render her compliant.
After weighing the aggravating factors, including the presence of the victim's young child, against the offender's positive rehabilitation prospects, the court rejected a conditional sentence.
Emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, the court sentenced the offender to 18 months' incarceration along with ancillary orders.
