Two Toronto men have been sentenced to nine years in prison for their involvement in the gang sexual assault of an unconscious woman, according to court documents verified on May 2, 2026. The assault was described by the judge as 'cruel and utterly depraved.'
The men, whose identities are protected under a publication ban, were convicted of sexual assault causing bodily harm and forcible confinement. The victim, who remains unidentified, was assaulted in a Toronto apartment in 2023.
The court heard that the woman was rendered unconscious through alcohol or drugs before the assault. The judge emphasized the severity of the crime, noting the lasting trauma inflicted on the victim.
Both men will serve their sentences in a federal penitentiary, with credit given for time served. The Crown had sought a sentence of 12 years, while the defense argued for 6 years.
