Overview

• David Rayan pleaded guilty to 17 counts of sexual assault and one attempted assault for groping women at Revolver Upstairs nightclub over three nights in late 2023.
• Judge Peter Rozen sentenced Rayan to a two-year community corrections order, requiring 180 hours of unpaid work, supervision, and behavioral programs.
• The court cited Rayan's guilty plea, low risk of reoffending, and the fact that the assaults were over clothing as reasons for the non-custodial sentence.
• Victims described lasting trauma, including fear of public spaces, disrupted relationships, and relocation to seek emotional support.
• The case has reignited debate over the adequacy of non-custodial sentences for sexual assault and the balance between rehabilitation and accountability.
