Bail pending appeal granted to an appellant convicted of seven sexual assault counts and sentenced to 11 years, subject to strict release conditions and surety.
The application was dismissed because the applicant failed to satisfy s.679(3)(b): he remains a significant flight risk who is unlikely to surrender into custody; the proposed surety was previously found unsuitable by a trial judge, nothing material has changed, electronic monitoring is insufficient to mitigate the risk, and the strength of the case and proximity to surrender increase his incentive to flee.
