The victim’s identity is protected by a publication ban.
Defence lawyer Lyle Howe was sentenced to three years in prison in that case after a jury convicted him of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in March 2011.
Howe’s lawyer has filed an appeal in that case.
Sparks is due to return to Dartmouth provincial court next Monday.
