The accused pleaded guilty to sexual interference, making child pornography, and accessing child pornography involving two young persons.
The Crown sought a nine-year penitentiary sentence with ancillary orders including DNA, SOIRA, and section 161 prohibition orders.
The defence sought three to four years with a ten-year section 161 order.
The court imposed a six-year global sentence (five years for sexual interference and one year consecutive for child pornography offences), finding that the accused's conduct involved grooming, breach of trust, multiple victims, and significant harm.
The court was particularly concerned about the accused's lack of insight, blame-shifting, and moderate risk of re-offending.
