The Crown applied to have the offender designated a Dangerous Offender following his convictions for sexual assault, sexual interference, and break and enter.
The offender broke into two homes at night, sexually assaulting a minor in one of them.
He had a lengthy criminal record including prior sexual offences and breaches of court orders.
The court found the offender met the criteria for a Dangerous Offender designation under s. 753(1)(b) of the Criminal Code, demonstrating a failure to control his sexual impulses and a likelihood of causing future harm.
Given his high risk of reoffending, anti-social personality disorder, and history of deceit with treatment providers, the court concluded there was no reasonable expectation that a lesser measure would adequately protect the public.
The offender was designated a Dangerous Offender and sentenced to an indeterminate period of incarceration.
