Long‑term offender designation imposed for serial child‑sexual‑offence conduct.
The accused pleaded guilty to multiple sexual offences against several young persons, including sexual interference, sexual assault, internet luring, and making and possessing child pornography.
The Crown applied for a long‑term offender designation under s. 753.1 of the Criminal Code.
The court reviewed psychiatric risk assessment evidence and found the offender presented a moderate risk of sexual reoffending, with a pattern of grooming behaviour toward vulnerable adolescents.
The court concluded that the statutory criteria for a long‑term offender designation were satisfied and that risk could be managed in the community through supervision.
A global penitentiary sentence of seven years and one month was imposed along with a five‑year long‑term supervision order and several ancillary orders.
