The offender pleaded guilty to sexual interference after performing oral sex on his 3-year-old half-sister while babysitting her.
The Crown sought an 18-month custodial sentence, while the defence argued for a conditional sentence.
The court noted that a conditional sentence was statutorily unavailable and emphasized the need for denunciation and deterrence given the offender's position of trust and the victim's extreme youth.
The court sentenced the offender to 15 months in custody, followed by 3 years of probation, and imposed various ancillary orders including a 20-year SOIRA order.
