The accused pleaded guilty to multiple sexual offences including attempting to administer a stupefying substance to facilitate sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, attempted making of child pornography, voyeurism, and possession of child pornography.
The offences involved attempts to intoxicate a teenage complainant and long‑term covert recordings of minors in a bathroom, along with possession of a large child pornography collection.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence as the primary sentencing objectives given the seriousness of child exploitation offences and the abuse of trust.
Numerous aggravating factors were identified, including planning, the vulnerability of victims under 18, abuse of familial trust, and significant psychological harm to victims.
Accepting a joint submission, the court imposed concurrent penitentiary terms resulting in a total sentence of three years, along with weapons prohibitions, lifetime SOIRA registration, and DNA orders.
