The unnamed predator had 180,000 sexual images of children, 27,000 videos and 12,000 voyeur videos, some of it video of his own abuse of children
His Gladue report said the man was unaware of any family members attending a residential school. His aunt said her grandmother had been in a residential school and that the family’s history included instances of physical and sexual abuse.
A psychiatrist testified at his sentencing that without proper treatment the man’s risk of repeat offending was high to moderate and he would need conditions and supervision once released to manage that risk. His obsessive-compulsive disorder made treatment for pedophilia more difficult, court heard.
The man appealed his sentence, claiming the judge did not give adequate weight to Gladue factors and did not properly consider the impact of the entirety of both his custodial and supervisory sentences. “The systemic and background factors provide the necessary context for the sentencing judge to determine an appropriate sentence. They do not operate as an excuse or justification for the offender’s criminal conduct, and the presence of Gladue factors does not result in an automatic sentence reduction for an Aboriginal offender,” Justice Patricia Rowbotham wrote on behalf of a panel of three judges.
