Notably in that case, the learned sentencing judge noted that the offender was youthful and had good prospects of rehabilitation. Finally, the Court acknowledged the primary sentencing objectives are denunciation and deterrence, but that rehabilitation for this offender was an important factor. The offender was sentenced to four years. The sentencing judge then considered the issue of a SOIRA order in light of R v Ndhlovu, 2022 SCC 38 , which found that mandatory registration violates section 7 of the Charter, however postponed the issue of a SOIRA exemption until a risk assessment was done." {{FindOthers|jxp5v}}  {{keywords|}} }}

Both the complainants were tenants in the same condominium that he resided in. With regard to the first complainant, he met her in the foyer and asked to see the layout of her apartment. She agreed. Once in the apartment he told her he loved her and embraced her. She pushed him away and asked him to leave. He did. However, he returned 15 minutes later bearing desserts. He was told to leave but would not. He touched her foot, then kissed it despite being told not to touch her. He was told to leave; he would not. She told him he had to leave and escorted him to the door. He again embraced her and tried to kiss her. Eventually she got the accused out.
... Mr. Hadni met another female neighbour in the lobby. He helped her carry a table into her suite. He then tried to kiss her hand, which she refused. He left, then returned again 20 minutes later asking to borrow a screwdriver. He entered her suite. She tried to usher him out. At the door he told her he loved her, and hugged her. She released herself from Mr. Hadni’s grip, he then grabbed the back of the complainant’s neck to pull her head to kiss her. She pushed him out of the apartment.
... Mr. Hadni was 32 at the time of the offence. He is married with a child. In 2021 he graduated from a trade school in Morocco with a diploma in hospitality and restaurant services. In March of 2020 he was sponsored by his sister to emigrate to Canada. He was on a work visa which expired March 30, 2022. The above events occurred in August of 2020. Because of these charges Mr. Hadni lost his employment. Crown was seeking a suspended sentence of 24 months; defence a conditional discharge. Justice Groves decided that a fit an appropriate sentence was 12 month suspended sentence. In particular she noted that there were two complainants and that the psych report tendered indicated a lack of insight into his offending behavior. Consequently, she declined the application for a discharge. The sentence was appealed to King’s Bench. Justice Inglis upheld the sentence, finding no error in the lower court’s failure to grant a discharge: see 2023 ABKB 194."{{summfrom|Alashal|k49cg#par62|2024 ABCJ 96 (CanLII)}} {{FindOthers|js1nr}} {{keywords|}} }}

There was also a Cultural Impact Assessment prepared which noted the impacts of race and culture on the offender, including: historical and contemporary systemic racism; poverty as it relates to cultural expectations and social/emotional development; impacts of cultural codes on mental wellness; the over-representation of African Canadians in prison; and, services and resources that should be made available to the offender to support rehabilitation and reintegration.
