The appellant appealed his global sentence of 32 months' imprisonment (after 40 months' credit for pre-trial custody) for sexual assault, unlawful confinement, and breach of recognizance.
He argued the trial judge failed to adequately consider his rehabilitation prospects, imposed a sentence higher than the Crown's submission, failed to mitigate for time spent in segregation, and imposed an excessive sentence.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in principle and concluding the sentence was proper given the violent nature of the offences and the appellant's lengthy prior record.
