SELECTED CASE LAW

SASKATCHEWAN:

2014 SKCA 126

In 2014 SKCA 126, the Crown appealed the sentence of Mr. N who had been convicted of sexually touching, sexually exploiting, making child pornography of, and possessing child pornography of, his grand-daughter while she was between the age of 3 and 5. While babysitting, he would massage her vagina through her diaper under the guise of a game, sexually touch her, put his penis in her mouth or hand, show her pornography, and take photos of her genitalia. He also possessed other child pornography.

The appeal court found the age of the victim carried great weight and increased the sentence from 4 years of incarceration to 5 years.
