The offender, a former teacher and foster parent, pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a young person under section 153 of the Criminal Code.
The offence involved sexual contact with a foster child over a period of years beginning when the victim was 16 years old.
The offender was cooperative with police, confessed immediately upon contact, and demonstrated remorse.
The court imposed a 90-day intermittent jail sentence followed by a 3-year probation order with strict conditions, balancing the serious breach of trust and vulnerability of the victim against mitigating factors including the offender's guilty plea, cooperation, low risk of reoffending, and psychological profile.
