CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. - A Stratford man who started to have intercourse with a woman while she was asleep was sentenced this morning to six months in jail.
Gregory William Lunn, 32, appeared before Justice Terri MacPherson in P.E.I. Supreme Court in Charlottetown where he was scheduled for a two-day trial on a charge of break and enter and commit a sexual assault.
Instead, the trial didn’t go ahead after Lunn pleaded guilty to sexual assault.
During submissions from the Crown, Gerald Quinn told the court there was a joint recommendation of six months in jail consecutive to any time Lunn is already serving.
Lunn was sentenced in June 2017 to two years less a day in jail for dangerous driving causing death.
The court heard his statutory release date for that offence is Feb. 22, which is when the six-month sentence would start.
His probation was revoked after his arrest in August 2018.
Quinn said he had discussions with the victim about the sentencing and she was in agreement that it was the proper approach.
Lunn will be on probation for three years after his release, during which time he is banned from contacting the victim.
He will also be under a weapons prohibition, his name will be added to the sex offender registry and he must provide a DNA sample for the national databank.
A publication ban prevents the release of any details that could identify the victim.
