Sex offender need not register - judge

Stephen Malloy, 32, of Waasis, sexually assaulted woman, broke cellphone in June 2022

A judge said a sex-offender registration order would have a disproportionate effect on a Waasis man who admitted to sexual assault, ruling such a measure wasn’t necessary in his case.

Stephen Malloy, 32, of Waasis Farm Road, pleaded guilty last year to summary counts of sexual assault and mischief causing damage.

Court heard last year that Malloy and a woman were engaging in what was initially a consensual encounter, but he then penetrated the victim’s vagina with his fingers and performed oral sex on her without her consent June 1, 2022. 

When she got upset, the offender damaged her cellphone.
