The defendant was convicted after trial of criminal harassment contrary to section 264 of the Criminal Code and distribution of intimate images contrary to section 162.1(1) of the Criminal Code.
The defendant engaged in a pattern of electronic communications designed to harass the complainant, his former fiancée, including messages documenting what she wore at school.
He also distributed intimate photographs of the complainant without her consent to family and friends both within Canada and overseas, using an anonymizing email service on two separate occasions.
The court imposed consecutive sentences totalling approximately nine months in custody, along with extensive probation conditions and ancillary orders, emphasizing denunciation and specific deterrence given the defendant's complete absence of remorse and empathy.
