The 22-year-old victim was shopping at Bobbitt’s second-hand store when he attacked her over a period of about 15 hours.
Her two-year-old son was present but was not hurt.
Bobbitt is also suspected of sexually assaulting another woman in 2007 but charges were never laid in that case.
If designated a dangerous offender, Bobbitt will be locked up indefinitely to protect the public.
The Crown’s application relies heavily on psychiatric evaluations.
