Joseph Yaremko has been found guilty of sexual assault with a weapon.
Justice Naheed Bardai handed down the verdict Thursday morning in a Saskatoon courtroom.
He was also found guilty of unlawful confinement.
Yaremko was charged in June 2019 after a woman said she was sexually assaulted and held against her will at her condominium in the Stonebridge neighbourhood.
Surveillance video entered as evidence at the trial showed Yaremko entering the woman’s apartment suite.
The prosecutor described the incident as a “nightmare scenario” where the woman was in her Stonebridge apartment suite, preparing to watch TV when she heard a knock at her door.
The complainant testified that Yaremko pushed through her doorway and into her suite. The court heard he wanted to get away from police who were nearby.
The Crown alleged that the suspect locked the door behind him, before choking the victim and throwing her onto the bed.
The victim said Yaremko claimed to have a knife and a gun. She was sexually assaulted multiple times, according to the Crown.
Yaremko is due back in court on Jan. 13, 2022.
