The offender was convicted of two counts of making written child pornography and two counts of making an arrangement to commit sexual offences under sections 151 and 271 of the Criminal Code.
The offences involved online communications with undercover police officers posing as mothers with young children.
The offender was sentenced to a total of 30 months imprisonment, comprising 18 months concurrent on counts 1 and 2, and 12 months consecutive on count 4.
The court rejected the offender's constitutional challenge to the mandatory minimum sentence and declined to apply section 718.3(7) requiring consecutive sentences, finding that provision applies only to offences against real children.
Ancillary orders including DNA, SOIRA, and section 161 prohibition orders were imposed for life.
