Woman who posed as nurse in Brampton and injured cosmetic patients handed nearly two years in jail
Shiva Ashkani of Brampton, Ont., was sentenced after being found guilty of eight charges against former patients, including three counts of assault with a weapon, one count of aggravated assault and one count of fraud under $5,000.
Superior Court Justice Alfred O'Marra sentenced Ashkani, who has a history of mental illness, to two years less a day in jail plus three years of probation. O'Marra said Ashkani's fraudulent cosmetics treatments got underway in 2015, three years after she was accused of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon in an attack on her husband that left him with a ruptured spleen.
Court heard the owners of a Toronto tanning salon with plans to hire a registered nurse for beauty treatments brought Ashkani on board after coming across her ad in July 2015. The other salon client reported a rash and discolouration around her eyes after a treatment with Ashkani. O'Marra said all three victims had to undergo blood tests to ensure they had not contracted HIV or hepatitis as a result of their treatments, noting they were never told exactly what substance they were injected with. All paid between $500 and $800 for their treatments, court documents show.
