The accused pleaded guilty to one count of sexual interference against a four-year-old child and one count of breaching his recognizance.
The offence involved performing cunnilingus on the child and having her masturbate the accused.
The accused was released on bail with conditions prohibiting contact with children under 16, which he breached 19 days later by attempting to pick up another child from the same daycare.
The court sentenced the accused to 12½ months imprisonment followed by three years probation, with nine months pre-sentence custody credited, resulting in three months additional imprisonment.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence as paramount sentencing principles while considering the accused's mental illness, intellectual deficits, guilty plea, and uncertain immigration status as mitigating factors.
