COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO

CITATION:
R. v. J.B.,
    2012 ONCA 805

DATE: 20121120

DOCKET: C55070

Doherty, LaForme JJ.A. and Glithero J. (
ad
    hoc
)

BETWEEN

Her Majesty the Queen

Respondent

and

J.B.

Appellant

Rosalind E. Conway and Anne Marie Morphew, for the
    appellant

Matthew Asma, for the respondent

Heard:  November 16, 2012

On appeal from the convictions entered by Justice Robert
    Smith of the Superior Court of Justice, dated October 5, 2011 and the sentence
    imposed on January 18, 2012.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The reasons are adequate as per
R. v. Dinardo
.  They clearly
    identify the basis upon which the trial judge convicted.

[2]

We do not agree that the trial judge misapprehended the evidence.  His
    summary of the complainants evidence in relation to MSN was available on the
    evidence.

[3]

We see no error in his reference to at least one instance in referring
    to the allegation of the complainant.

[4]

The trial judge was entitled to determine the effect, if any, of the
    inconsistencies in the complainants evidence.  He was not obligated to
    conclude that the two inconsistencies relied on by the appellant were
    significant.

[5]

The sentence is not unfit.  The trial judge did consider the impact of
    the bail provisions and we see no reason to disagree with his assessment.

[6]

The appeal is dismissed.
