The accused pleaded guilty to sexual interference with a female victim.
The victim was 12 years old at the time of the offence, and the accused was 18 years old.
The offence involved sexual activity including full intercourse on multiple occasions.
The court imposed a sentence of time-served (eight days pre-sentence custody credited as 12 days) plus six months imprisonment, followed by one year probation.
A 10-year Sex Offender Information Registration Act order was imposed.
The court applied Gladue principles under section 718.2(e) of the Criminal Code, considering the accused's status as a member of a First Nation, his youth, and his lack of prior criminal record.
The court also considered the joint submission from Crown and defence counsel.
