The accused, R.A.-M., was found guilty of sexual interference and sexual assault of a 15-year-old victim.
The sexual assault charge was stayed under the Kienapple principle.
The court considered sentencing principles for child sexual abuse, emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, and the impact of the Supreme Court's decision in Friesen.
Despite the persistence of the acts, the court viewed them as being at the lower end of intrusiveness.
Considering the accused's good character, employment, and family support, an intermittent sentence was deemed appropriate.
The accused was sentenced to 90 days intermittent, 2 years probation, SOIRA registration for 15 years, a s. 161.1(b) order, and a DNA sample order.
