The accused pleaded guilty to publishing intimate images of his former partner without her consent, contrary to s. 162.1 of the Criminal Code.
The offences occurred following the breakdown of their relationship and a dispute over a loan.
The Crown sought a sentence of 30 days in custody and two years of probation, while the defence argued for a non-custodial sentence.
The court emphasized the principles of denunciation and deterrence, noting the significant emotional impact on the victim and the breach of trust involved in the distribution of the images.
The accused was sentenced to 30 days of intermittent custody, followed by two years of probation, and voluntarily paid $3,000 in restitution.
