Lambton man admits using his toddlers to make porn
January 30, 2022
“They were powerless against you”
Blake Ellis/Local Journalism Initiative
A Lambton County father, who says he’s not sexually attracted to children, has been sentenced to five years in prison for using his own daughters to make child pornography.
The 32-year old man pled guilty to sexual interference as well as charges related to making and distributing child pornography on Jan. 21.
His name cannot be released since it would identify the victims of the crime, his children.
The charges stemmed from four incidents involving his two daughters who were both under the age of three years. On two occasions, he admitted to sending pornographic photos of his daughters to others through text messages.
The man has admitted to having a sexual addiction and has participated in a program while he has been in jail to deal with this addiction. Despite this, he believes he is not sexually attracted to children.
But Justice Krista Leszczynski said the man was downplaying the impact the crimes had on his daughters just because they were young.
“They were powerless against you,” she said as she gave her verdict. Leszczynski said the girls will likely become aware of this sometime in the future and will struggle with wondering if and when these photos might resurface.
The man has been in custody since November 2020, and will be credited with the time he has already served.
He has well over three years left to serve in his sentence with 1,196 days yet to complete.
He will be placed on the sex offender registry for life, will not be allowed to go to parks, daycares, schools or public swimming areas where children under 16 will be. He will also not be allowed to have employment which will have him be near anyone under the age of 16. He will not be allowed to contact his children. He will also not be allowed to have a weapon for 10 years.
