The offender pled guilty to assault causing bodily harm, sexual assault, unlawful confinement, and attempting to obstruct justice against his former intimate partner.
The court considered the aggravating factors of prolonged domestic violence and the offender's prior record, balanced against his guilty plea and rehabilitation efforts.
The court applied a 1.5 to 1 credit for pre-sentence custody but declined further enhancement for harsh conditions.
The court did, however, reduce the sentence on the sexual assault count to account for the collateral consequences of COVID-19 restrictions in custody.
The offender was sentenced to a total of 47 months, with 11 months remaining to be served after credit for time served, followed by 3 years of probation.
