During the relationship, various nude photos of the victim were taken by the accused, with her consent. Shortly after their break-up, the accused published 5 intimate images of the victim on the internet. Purporting to be the victim, he created a Facebook profile in her name, using her photo. He then sent “friend requests” to her actual friends, which were accepted, thereby exposing her intimate images, in addition to photographs of her 9-year-old son. The offence was deliberate and calculated. By the time the offence was reported to the police, the photos had already been viewed by the victim’s employer, co-worker, family members and friends. A total of 96 people saw her photos. The consequences on the victim’s life were serious, profound and ongoing. She struggled with severe depression and insecurity. She lost trust in others. [the accused was] 27 years old at the time of the offence. [He wasa] high school drop-out. [He had a h]istory of employment in various fields. [There was an] extensive criminal record, including 2 convictions for criminal harassment, weapons offences, drug offences. [Included were] several prior convictions for failure to comply with conditions. [T]he accused was subject to stringent and restrictive bail conditions leading up to his sentencing" [http://canlii.ca/t/j51rs]
