The accused pleaded guilty to making available child pornography, two counts of surreptitiously observing and recording a person who could reasonably expect to be nude, accessing child pornography, and possessing child pornography.
The offences occurred between January 1, 2008 and December 2, 2011.
The accused had accumulated thousands of images and videos of child pornography, including images depicting prepubescent children engaged in sexual acts.
The accused also secretly recorded his thirteen-year-old nephew in a bedroom and bathroom.
The Crown sought a three-year penitentiary sentence, while the defence sought twelve to eighteen months.
The court imposed a twenty-three-month jail sentence followed by three years probation, with ancillary orders including SOIRA registration, DNA order, and a prohibition order under section 161 of the Criminal Code.
