The Ontario Court of Justice sentenced T.O. following his guilty pleas to four counts of voyeurism under s. 162(1) and one count of theft under s. 334(b)(i) of the Criminal Code.
The offences involved surreptitious sexualized photography of children and adults, including nude images and the theft and sexual use of victims' underwear.
The court considered aggravating factors such as the large volume of images (over 1,000), the prolonged duration of offending over five years, abuse of trust, and the significant impact on victims and their families.
Mitigating factors included T.O.'s lack of prior record at the time of offences, guilty pleas, remorse, and engagement in treatment.
The court rejected a conditional sentence order, imposing an effective custodial sentence of almost 18 months, followed by three years’ probation with strict conditions, and a 10-year SOIRA order.
Ancillary orders included DNA sampling, forfeiture of electronic devices, and communication restrictions.
