The accused, Taylor Javer, was found guilty of sexual interference and luring.
The court considered aggravating factors including the victim's age (14-15), vulnerability due to autism and Dissociative Identity Disorder, the extensive grooming behavior over four months, and the severe emotional and psychological impact on the victim and her mother.
Mitigating factors included his youthful age (25 at time of offence, 28 at sentencing), lack of prior record, and family support.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence as primary sentencing principles for child abuse offences.
A total sentence of six years in penitentiary was imposed, consisting of four years for sexual interference and a consecutive two years for luring, reflecting the distinct harms and legal interests protected by each offence.
