The accused faced nine charges including accessing, making, and possessing child pornography, voyeurism, distributing intimate images without consent, extortion, criminal harassment, and breach of recognizance.
The charges arose from a police investigation into a user named 'Criza' on a Russian image-sharing website, which led to the seizure of multiple electronic devices from the accused's residence.
The court found the circumstantial evidence overwhelming that the accused was the user 'Criza', that he created the 'River Videos' depicting child pornography, and that he distributed intimate images of former partners without consent.
The accused was found guilty on eight of the nine counts, being acquitted only of one count of voyeurism where the court had a reasonable doubt regarding consent.
