The applicant, Omar McLeod, sought judicial interim release by applying to vacate a prior detention order, claiming a material change in circumstances.
The Crown conceded a material change but argued it did not favor release, opposing bail on both secondary and tertiary grounds.
The court, applying the criteria for material change from *R. v. St. Cloud*, acknowledged that the proposed 24-hour surety supervision by the applicant's mother constituted a favorable change.
However, the court found that the additional 16 charges laid against the applicant since the initial bail hearing, revealing a pattern of aggressive, predatory, and stalking conduct against multiple complainants, also constituted a material change that significantly increased the risk to public safety and undermined confidence in the administration of justice.
The court dismissed the application, maintaining the detention order on both secondary and tertiary grounds.
