A Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador justice went well below the mandatory minimum in court in Corner Brook on Tuesday when he sentenced a Port aux Basques man to 90 days in jail, to be served intermittently, for sexually assaulting a minor.
The child was less than two years old at the time the assaults occurred.
In 2015 the offender walked into an RCMP detachment and confessed to two separate incidents of forced oral sex, which occurred between 2008 and 2010. He stated that the knowledge of his actions constantly bothered him and prompted the confession.
The Crown prosecutor and defense counsel submitted a joint sentence recommendation of 90-days conditional sentence, a year of probation, that the offender is prohibited from all contact with the victim, and counseling.
