The defendant was convicted after trial of assaulting his wife, breaching an undertaking by communicating with her, and distributing an intimate video of his wife without consent.
The court imposed a global sentence of 14 months in custody followed by three years of probation.
The sentencing decision provides comprehensive analysis of the principles applicable to distributing intimate images without consent, including a detailed framework of aggravating and mitigating factors.
The court found the conduct to be at the higher end of the seriousness spectrum due to the domestic context, premeditated nature, targeted dissemination to family members, identifiability of the victim, and the profound impact on the victim and her family.
