Michael Grondines, 40, was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography in August 2020 after a three-year police investigation.
A Burnaby man has been sentenced to eight months’ jail and 18 months of probation for possessing between 2,000 and 2,500 child sexual abuse images on multiple electronic devices.
In a joint sentencing submission Crown prosecutor Joseph Zondervan and defence lawyer Mark Swartz both called for an eight-month jail sentence and 18 months of probation.As aggravating factors she noted the size of Grondines’ collection of child sex abuse images and the nature of the photos and videos, which she described as on the “high end of gravity” involving “some children who would be considered babies.
“However, he has acknowledged that he did hold that collection as described in the agreed admissions of fact,” Brownstone said.
