This is a sentencing decision which at the outset is determined as complex by the Court.
The offender, KT, is a 35-year-old man with no prior criminal record who pleaded guilty to an array of sexual offences, including criminal harassment and indecent communication against adult female co-workers, child luring, making sexually explicit material available to children, possession of child pornography, voyeurism, and exposure to persons under the age of 16. KT was diagnosed with pedophilic disorder (non-exclusive), cyclothymic disorder, ADHD, and substance use disorders in remission (para. 71, 74). Assessments placed his intellectual functioning in the low average to borderline range (para 81-83). The court found him to be an “untreated, indiscriminate sex offender” who posed a high risk of re-offending if left untreated (para. 2).
The police discovered a total of 3,651 videos and 2,257 images that depicted child pornography on KT’s devices with male and female victims aged between six months and 17 years old, with images that included depictions of bestiality (para. 30-31). The court also noted as aggravating the use of his workplace to target victims, the exploitation of minors, and the lack of remorse (para. 97-98); the size and nature of the child pornography collection is treated by the court as an extremely aggravating factor (para. 164-165).
The total sentence was calculated 7 years and 6 months in custody after applying the principle of totality and accounting for pre-sentence custody credit (paras 248-249, 293-294). Lifetime orders were imposed under the Sex Offender Information Registration Act (SOIRA) and section 161 of the Criminal Code, including restrictions on contact with minors, internet use, and proximity to victims (paras 313-317), and DNA and a firearms prohibition order for 10 years were issued (para. 311-312).
