The Queen vs. The Defendant

Cases tagged as Child Luring

  • R. v. M.P.2025

    The client was charged with possession of child pornography and accessing child pornography. The allegation originated from an incident where the client for assistance with his mental health. Because there was a mention of a firearm, police responded. When the police arrived, they began an investigation into possession of child pornography. When they did so, they unlawfully entered his home and searched it without grounds to do so. They then unlawfully arrested him. I reviewed the disclosure in detail. There was significant outstanding disclosure that the prosecutor could not produce. Given the delays and the issues with the violations of the client's rights, I was able to convince the prosecutor to withdraw the charges if the client entered into a peace bond. This left the client with no conviction and no criminal record.

  • R. v. A.S.2024

    The client was charged with importation of child pornography and possession of child pornography. These are very serious charges. I was able to negotiate a resolution with the prosecutor for a specialized peace bond. The client entered into the court order (peace bond) and both charges were withdrawn. This left the client without a conviction and without facing jail time.

  • R. v. J.K.2023

    The client was charged with luring a child, sexual assault and obtaining sexual services for consideration. The alleged complainant was under the age of 16. The client was at risk of a conviction and a significant jail sentence of convicted. The client elected to have their matter proceed with a preliminary inquiry at Provincial Court and a date was set for the same. The client and I worked extensively in preparation for the preliminary inquiry. During my preparations, I had discussions with the prosecutor as to how the preliminary inquiry would proceed. After those discussions it became clear that the complaiant was likely not going to appear at the preliminary inquiry. They did not appear, and the prosecutor agreed to stay the charge i.e. drop the charge. This left the client without a conviction and without a criminal record for very serious sexual offences.
