The young person pleaded guilty to sexual assault with a weapon, robbery, wearing a disguise with intent, assault with a weapon, and breach of recognizance.
The Crown applied to have the young person sentenced as an adult under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The court found that a youth sentence would not be of sufficient length to hold the young person accountable given the extreme violence, gratuitous nature of the attacks on multiple strangers, and the young person's moderate risk to reoffend.
The court granted the application and imposed a global adult sentence of 6 years, less enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody, leaving 40 months to serve.
