The accused, a former elementary school teacher and vice-principal, pleaded guilty to nine counts of voyeurism under section 162(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.
Between early 2015 and February 2017, he secretly recorded male staff members using the staff washroom at his school using hidden cameras.
The Crown sought 15 to 18 months custody, emphasizing denunciation and general deterrence.
The defence sought a conditional sentence of 16 months, highlighting mitigating factors including the guilty plea, lack of prior record, remorse, and therapeutic progress.
The court imposed a 16-month conditional sentence with strict conditions including house arrest for the first eight months, non-contact orders, and mandatory counselling, followed by two years probation.
