Sentencing for guilty pleas to two counts of possession of child pornography, one count of making child pornography, and one count of sexual interference involving a child.
The court applied the Supreme Court's guidance on sentencing for sexual violence against children, emphasizing denunciation and deterrence under s. 718.01 of the Criminal Code.
Aggravating factors included the victim's young age, the offenders' position of trust as babysitters, repeated and recorded abuse, substantial physical interference, and a very large child pornography collection.
Mitigating factors included the guilty plea, remorse, a dysfunctional upbringing, low assessed risk to reoffend, and exceptionally punitive pretrial custody conditions.
A global sentence of 10 years less enhanced pretrial custody was imposed, together with multiple lifetime ancillary orders and forfeiture.
