The offender pleaded guilty to three counts of violating court orders, including a probation order and a release order, by repeatedly attending the residence of his former intimate partner.
The Crown sought a 30-day sentence, while duty counsel sought time served.
The court rejected the joint proposal as unacceptably low given the offender's lengthy record, the intimate partner violence context, and the need for denunciation and deterrence.
The court imposed a global sentence of 5 months' custody, reduced to 90 days going forward after credit for pre-sentence custody and segregation, followed by 12 months' probation.
