Steven Medard pleaded guilty to voyeurism for secretly recording a student nurse in a hospital staff washroom.
Initially minimizing his actions to a probation officer, he later admitted to deliberate, pre-planned conduct.
The court considered a pre-sentence report and a psychological risk assessment.
The Crown sought a custodial sentence of 6-8 months, while the defence sought a 12-month conditional sentence.
The judge imposed a 12-month conditional sentence, with the first six months under house arrest with GPS monitoring, followed by a two-year probation order.
The decision balanced denunciation and deterrence with rehabilitation and restraint, recognizing Medard as a youthful first offender who had taken steps towards rehabilitation.
