The Office of the Children's Lawyer brought a motion seeking an order that the father undergo a Sexual Offence Specific Assessment.
The child had been apprehended in 2012 following allegations of sexual abuse by the father.
Although the father initially agreed to phallometric testing, he had not completed any assessment despite requests since 2012.
The Society's plan of care was to return the child to the parents' care without requiring the assessment.
The court found that the assessment was necessary to determine whether the father could be a primary caregiver and to assess the risk of sexual harm to the vulnerable child.
The motion was granted.
