The sentencing court addressed guilty pleas to possessing child pornography, making child pornography available, and three voyeurism counts arising from prolonged covert recordings in private domestic, workplace, and public settings.
Applying Criminal Code sentencing principles, the court gave primary weight to denunciation and deterrence, citing the scale of offending, serious and lasting victim harm, and significant aggravating features including sexualized degrading conduct and exploitation of highly private spaces.
The court also considered mitigation, including the guilty plea, remorse, expert evidence of rehabilitative potential and managed risk, lack of prior record, and harsh pre-trial custody conditions including extensive lockdowns, triple-bunking, and an in-custody assault.
A global sentence of 5.5 years less 733 days of credit was imposed, with ancillary DNA, SOIRA, s. 161, forfeiture, and s. 743.21 non-communication orders.
