The offender was convicted of one count of sexual assault following an incident where he engaged in unprotected intercourse with an impaired complainant on a first date.
The Crown sought a sentence of 30-36 months, while the defence proposed 18 months.
The court considered the aggravating factors, including the vulnerability of the complainant and the profound impact on her, alongside mitigating factors such as the offender's lack of a related criminal record and strong pro-social support.
The court sentenced the offender to two years less a day in custody, followed by one year of probation, and imposed ancillary orders including a 10-year weapons prohibition and a 20-year SOIRA order.
