The offender pleaded guilty to accessing child pornography.
The Crown sought a custodial sentence, while the defence argued for a conditional sentence due to exceptional rehabilitative efforts and strong family support.
The court, balancing denunciation and deterrence with rehabilitation, imposed a 12-month conditional sentence with electronic monitoring and house arrest, followed by three years of probation, a DNA order, a 10-year SOIRA order, and specific internet use restrictions.
