In 2016, the accused was convicted of possession of child pornography, agreeing to commit sexual assault on a minor, counselling to commit sexual assault on a minor, possession of child pornography, making available and making child pornography, conspiring to administer a noxious substance, conspiring to commit sexual assault, and bestiality.
Facts indicate that the relationship between the accused and Shayne Lund while she was a minor (15) and adult was the catalyst of her offenses, including those against her younger sister and family dog. The accused and Lund engaged in explicit digital conversations which included sending images involving animal sex and abuse/rape of children. The accused also created child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of her twelve-year-old sister and discussed plans to rape her. The accused, upon request, sent a photo of her family dog licking her genitalia to Lund, and received from him stories of bestiality and a photo-shopped image of animal genitalia and a young girl. The two discussed plans to rape young girls and many images of Lund having intercourse with young girls.
Mitigating factors included the accused’s young age (19), guilty plea, lack of criminal record and genuine remorse, while aggravating factors were the position of trust regarding her sister, planning the offences, her awareness of Lund’s victimization of other children and her involvement in planning future abuse of more children (para. 45-46).
The court imposed a global sentence of three years imprisonment, designation as a Long-Term Offender, and a four-year supervision order.
