The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review for an accused found not criminally responsible for sexual assault and other offences.
The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia and substance use disorder, had recently decompensated in the community and required hospitalization.
The Board accepted the joint submission of the parties and the attending psychiatrist's evidence that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.
The Board ordered the continuation of the existing Detention Order, noting the accused requires supervised housing before any future discharge.
