The Crown brought a dangerous offender application against the offender following his guilty plea to Internet luring and breach of probation.
The offender had previously been convicted in 2009 of distributing child pornography, Internet luring, and counselling an indictable offence.
The court found that while the offender presented a substantial risk of reoffending, the Crown had not established that the predicate offence constituted a serious personal injury offence as required for a dangerous offender designation.
The court declined to designate the offender as dangerous but found him to be a long-term offender and imposed a sentence of two years and three months plus ten years of long-term supervision with conditions including sex reduction medication, treatment, and restrictions on Internet access and contact with minors.
