The defendant's covert administration of temazepam to numerous victims, entry into private sleeping spaces, photographing intimate images and unwanted physical contact collectively constituted seriously culpable conduct warranting a substantial custodial sentence; applying the Crown's assessed range but allowing discounts for early guilty plea and remorse produced an aggregate sentence of eight years' imprisonment, with specified concurrent and cumulative allocations across counts.
