The court sentenced K.H. to four and a half years in the penitentiary for sexual interference, following a jury trial.
The decision details the circumstances of the offence, the offender’s background, the impact on the victim, and the application of sentencing principles, including the relevance of systemic and cultural factors.
The court considered aggravating and mitigating factors, the impact of anti-Black racism, and the Supreme Court’s guidance in R. v. Friesen regarding substantial sentences for child sexual abuse.
Ancillary orders were also imposed.
