Invitation to Sexual Touching

Case Name	Prv.	Crt.	Sentence	Summary
R v DCH, 2020 ABQB 510 (CanLII), per Labrenz J	AB	SC	2.5 years (invitation) 4.5 years (global)	"the accused pleaded guilty to invitation to sexual touching, making child pornography, and accessing child pornography. He had shown his 4-year old piano student pornography and had made video of her while, at his suggestion, she undressed and then when she was naked. While she was undressed he invited her to touch his erect penis which was covered by clothing. Labrenz J. reviewed the sentencing considerations addressed in Friesen. Applying those principles to the case before him he concluded that a fit total sentence was 4.5 years."
