The defendant pleaded guilty to sexual interference of a five-year-old child, the defendant's granddaughter, contrary to Section 151 of the Criminal Code.
The abuse occurred over approximately two years, from when the victim was three to five years old, on multiple occasions at both the defendant's home and the victim's home.
The conduct included touching the victim's genitals under her underwear and requiring the victim to manipulate the defendant's genitals, resulting in masturbation with discharge that the victim was required to clean up.
The court imposed a sentence of 14 months imprisonment followed by three years probation, along with ancillary orders including a no-contact order, DNA order, firearm prohibition, Sexual Offender Information Registry requirement, and Section 161 prohibition order with limited exceptions.
