On a dangerous offender application following guilty pleas to numerous sexual offences against children, the court held that the luring, invitation to sexual touching, sexual interference, and extortion offences constituted serious personal injury offences under s. 752 of the Criminal Code.
The evidence established a lengthy pattern of repetitive and persistent sexual offending, repeated breaches of court orders, minimization, and failure to respond to supervision and treatment, creating a threat to the life, safety, and mental well-being of others under s. 753(1)(a).
Applying the sentencing regime in ss. 753(4) and 753(4.1), the court found no reasonable expectation that a determinate sentence with long-term supervision would adequately protect the public.
An indeterminate sentence was imposed.
