The appellant appealed his sentence of two years less a day of incarceration for an offence involving supplying alcohol to a 16-year-old CAS ward he was hired to protect and engaging in sexual intercourse with her despite her protests.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the sentence fit given the gravity of the offence and the appellant's moral blameworthiness, which outweighed the restorative objective of a conditional sentence despite his expressions of remorse.
