The offender was found guilty of sexual interference involving his 13-year-old niece.
The Crown sought a penitentiary term of four to five years, while the defence argued for 15 to 24 months.
The court noted the aggravating factors of breach of trust and the intrusive nature of the offence, balanced against the offender's lack of a prior record and stable employment.
The court sentenced the offender to two years' imprisonment, along with weapons prohibitions, a DNA order, and a 20-year SOIRA order.
