The respondent pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and Internet child luring.
He was sentenced to 45 days' imprisonment for the child pornography conviction and a 12-month conditional sentence for the luring conviction.
The Crown appealed the conditional sentence, arguing the sentencing judge overemphasized rehabilitation and underemphasized denunciation and deterrence.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the sentencing judge properly applied the relevant principles and her decision was entitled to deference.
