The offender, Dylan Dolman-Kencher, pleaded guilty to exploiting a person under 18 (s. 279.011(1) Criminal Code) and breach of probation (s. 733.1(1) Criminal Code).
The Crown sought a six-year sentence, while the defence sought five years.
The court considered aggravating factors, including breach of trust, victim vulnerability, provision of drugs, and prior breach of probation, and mitigating factors such as youth, guilty plea, and harsh pre-trial custody conditions (Duncan credit).
The court imposed a six-year sentence, reduced by a nine-month Duncan credit and a 1.5:1 Summers credit for 792 days of pre-trial custody, resulting in a remaining sentence of 2 years less 2 days, plus 6 months concurrent for the probation breach, followed by two years probation.
