The offender, aged 28 at the time of the offences, engaged in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old victim who was employed at the same movie theatre.
The relationship involved multiple incidents of oral sex and attempted vaginal penetration before the victim's 16th birthday.
After the victim ended the relationship in September 2017, the offender engaged in persistent unwanted contact through calls, messages, and different social media accounts despite police warnings.
The offender was convicted of Sexual Interference and Criminal Harassment.
The court imposed a global sentence of 12 months imprisonment (10 months for Sexual Interference, 2 months consecutive for Criminal Harassment) followed by 3 years probation, with ancillary orders including a 10-year Section 161 order, DNA order, firearm prohibition, and Sex Offender Information Registration Act compliance.
