(PUBLICATION BAN IN CASE) (SEALING ORDER)

T.S.C. and the complainant had a relationship. Following their child’s birth, the complainant re established contact with T.S.C. so that he could develop a relationship with the child. At trial, the Crown tendered evidence of two sexual encounters that occurred within the same night but narrowed the scope of the sexual assault allegation to only the first encounter at the end of trial due to the complainant’s lack of recall. T.S.C. was convicted of sexual assault and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. The conviction appeal was dismissed. Leave to appeal the sentence was granted, and the sentence appeal was dismissed.
