The appellant appealed his global sentence of six years imprisonment for charges including distributing child pornography and breaching a s. 161 Criminal Code prohibition order.
The Court of Appeal found the sentencing judge's reasons inadequate for failing to sufficiently explain the sentence in light of sentencing objectives and comparable authorities.
Re-exercising its discretion, the Court reduced the global sentence to five years imprisonment, finding it to be a fit sentence considering all aggravating and mitigating factors.
