The offender pleaded guilty to luring a 13-year-old girl via the internet for the purpose of facilitating sexual abuse under section 152 of the Criminal Code, and to distributing intimate images of the victim without consent under section 163.1.
The offender induced the victim to perform sexual acts and self-harm on video, captured screenshots, and subsequently distributed these images to peers in the victim's community as an act of revenge when the victim moved on to a local boy.
The victim suffered severe psychological harm, including anxiety, depression, suicide attempts, bullying, and academic decline.
The court imposed a sentence of five years less 68 days (4 years and 297 days) on the primary count, with three years concurrent on the secondary count, plus ancillary orders including DNA, SOIRA, firearms prohibition, and section 161 conditions.
