SELECTED CASE LAW
ALBERTA:
In this unreported case[1], one of the victims was the accused’s niece, and the other was a girl he coached on a hockey team. The accused took surreptitious photos of the girls while they were sleeping in a way that was described as “very perverse”. He later printed copies of the photos on a school printer and left them for other people to discover. He was also found to have a digital camera with 284 pictures and 92 video clips of young girls’ breasts and groin areas who appeared to be asleep or unconscious. He was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment (15 months for making child pornography, 3 months for possessing child pornography, and 3 months for voyeurism).
