The offender, a high school teacher, was convicted of voyeurism after surreptitiously recording videos of female students' cleavage using a pen camera over an 18-month period.
The Crown sought 12 to 18 months' imprisonment, while the defence sought an 18-month conditional sentence.
The court emphasized the significant breach of trust, the vulnerability of the underage victims, and the need for denunciation and general deterrence.
Finding that a conditional sentence would not adequately address these principles, the court imposed a sentence of 6 months' imprisonment followed by 12 months' probation.
