One afternoon, Shannon attended the residence of Larry to retrieve belongings and request that an intimate video be deleted. Shortly after a brief discussion, police were contacted regarding a threat made by Larry to distribute a nude video of them having sex. Shannon stated to police that similar videos were previously made without her full consent, and she felt pressured to make them, as well as further pressure to not tell anyone about what happened.
After an investigation, Larry was charged with invitation to sexual touching under 16, sexual assault on a person under 16, sexual interference, extortion, possession of child pornography, possession of child pornography for the purpose of distribution or sale, and possession of child pornography for the purpose of publication.
Result: After having extensive client feedback and pre-trial discussions with the Crown, the charges of sexual assault was dropped down to a simple assault. All other charges were withdrawn. The passing of sentence was suspended and the youth was put on probation for one year with statutory conditions.
