A Canadian man won’t be available for a relationship over the next three years — by court order.
An Ontario judge has ruled that Steven Cranley cannot have a girlfriend until 2010.
Cranley, who’s 24, pleaded guilty earlier this week to charges stemming from an assault on a former girlfriend. He punched and kicked his girlfriend during an argument after their break-up. When police arrived he stabbed himself with a butcher knife, puncturing his aorta.
Doctors say Cranley has a dependent personality disorder, and finds it hard to deal with rejection. And they say he’ll probably re-offend if he gets involved in another romantic relationship.
Cranley has served nearly 150 days in custody. The judge decided that was enough jail time.
