COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO

CITATION: R. v. J.R.S., 2019 ONCA 852

DATE: 20191025

DOCKET: C66977

Simmons, Watt and Miller JJ.A.

BETWEEN

Her Majesty the Queen

Appellant

and

J.R.S.

Respondent

Jeremy D. Tatum, for the appellant

Ian R. Smith, for the respondent

Heard: October 21, 2019

On appeal
    from the sentence imposed on April 30, 2019 by Justice G. Mark Hornblower of
    the Ontario Court of Justice.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

In fairness to the trial/sentencing judge, the
    issue of serious bodily harm was not litigated in front of him. That said,
    based on his own findings, including

that it is an understatement to
    say that the [sexual] assault has been life altering and the impact is
    profound, his conclusion that the offence was not one where serious bodily
    harm was caused is a clear error. See, for example,
R. v. McCraw
,
    [1991] 3 S.C.R. 72. In the circumstances, a deferred custody order was not
    available under s. 42(5) of the
Youth
Criminal Justice Act
,

S.C. 2002, c. 1,
and
    the sentence imposed was illegal.

[2]

We acknowledge the
    respondent has made some progress. Nonetheless the illegal sentence has not
    expired.
Given the seriousness of this offence that
    involved force and both anal and vaginal penetration, this is not a case for a
    stay of the proper sentence. In the circumstances the appeal is allowed, the
    deferred custody order and probation order imposed are set aside. The Crown
    concedes one for one credit is appropriate. Accordingly while we agree a 12 month
    custody and supervision order would have been fit, giving appropriate credit,
    we impose a six month nine day custody and supervision order, two months of
    which shall be community supervision, together with a one year probation order
    on the same terms as in the prior probation order. The mandatory two year weapons
    prohibition is also imposed. All other terms of the prior sentence to remain
    the same.

[3]

The respondent shall surrender as soon as
    practicable to the King Street Detention Centre at 583 King Street West, London
    to serve the supervised custody portion of his sentence.

[4]

If the respondent has not surrendered by 11:59
    p.m. on Tuesday, October 22, 2019, a warrant shall issue for his arrest.
