The offender pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.
The Crown sought a sentence of two years less a day, while the defence sought approximately nine months with credit for time spent under house arrest.
The court considered the offender's youthful age, lack of prior record, history of childhood sexual abuse, and the significant mitigating effect of his strict bail conditions.
The court imposed a sentence of 42 days intermittent custody, which accounted for the mandatory minimum and pre-sentence custody, followed by three years of probation.
