A judge coddles a deranged sex offender. Can Canadians standards drop any lower?

Current judicial logic at work. Judge says: “Those who wish to possess child pornography encourage sexual abuse of children. The possession of child pornography must be considered a very serious offence.” And then hands out a slap on wrist nothing sentence
Whistler child porn possession nets conditional sentence, Crown prosecutor said images depicted “extremely depraved acts.” by Jeremy Hainsworth, Jan 25, 2024, Pique News Magazine
A man who pleaded guilty to child pornography offences that occurred in Whistler will serve a conditional sentence but won’t go on Canada’s sex offender registry, a judge ruled Jan. 24
Nicholas Kyle David Symons, 29, was charged with two counts of importing and/or distributing child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography when he appeared in North Vancouver Provincial Court.
On Jan. 26, 2023, Symons pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.
Symons appeared before Vancouver Provincial Court Judge Reginald Harris for sentencing on Wednesday.
“It is a serious offence,” Harris said. “It cannot be understated or overstated.”
But come closer, let me kiss you.
Police found Symons had 48 images and 28 videos that Crown prosecutor Kevin Masse said depicted some “extremely depraved acts.”
“Those who wish to possess child pornography encourage sexual abuse of children,” Harris said. “The possession of child pornography must be considered a very serious offence.”
Just another hypocrite pedophile-enabling judge. The married Christian man who raped me when I was eight, and throughout the summer when I was nine, started his controlling me with child porn. The images were hideous and violent; they haunt me still, nearly 60 years later. I flip you the bird Judge Kissy Poo Poo Reginald Harris.
The conditional sentence includes a year’s house arrest during which time Symons must be at home except for attending school and running personal errands at specific times.
The following three months would see him have a curfew after which conditions would relax further.
Defence lawyer Tony Tso argued against putting Symons on the federal sex offender registry under the Sex Offender Information Registry Act. Tso said Symons was remorseful for his actions and has been deemed a low risk to re-offend.It’s been proven again and again and again and again and again, pedophiles do not rehabilitate. They re-offend, again and again and again and again and again and again and again. They only way to stop them, is remove their access to kids and or kid porn.
“He recognizes the moral ???? WTF???wrongfulness of his behaviour,” he told the judge.
Harris said the registry is not about helping the offer but to help police in investigating sex offence cases.
He added the charges before him were signposts for possible future predatory behaviour that could lead to sexual interference.
The investigation
Sea to Sky RCMP media relations officer Const. Katrina Boehmer confirmed Whistler’s detachment received information from B.C. RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Team in July of 2021 about a Whistler individual caught “uploading child exploitation materials” between October 2020 and September 2021.
Whistler RCMP then took charge and forwarded information to the BC Prosecution Service for charge assessment.

It’s eroding public trust. Shameful. It also is putting more children in harms way when criminals know they get off lightly for their crimes.
Del@FullScopeWelds:
It’s their constitutional right to have access to the Internet in prisons. No matter how many times they’re caught with child pornography…Yes, while all levels of court pissed on the constitution to protect AER (self-regulator of the aquifer-raping frac industry), denied me my “valid” charter claim against AER, denied me the ability to seek justice. I am not a man; I am not a rapist or pedophile, so I do not get access to Canada’s privileged boy’s club – the judicial industry which remains as demented and creepy as ever.
Ken Wood@madhat53:
Saw this all the time when I served on BC Parole board. Long judges sentencing reports calling out the criminal act going on about the seriousness, and then…the actual sentence would be close to nothing.
CP96@LeftandLong:
These judges are a joke.
Any crime committed after a light sentence should be the judge’s responsibility as well.
@okayestdentist:
Hey how about this:
If a criminal commits a serious crime after being let off by a judge, then the judge goes to jail..
Kevin@kgusvancouver:
Or build probation houses in the neighbourhoods that judges live in…

I’m currently reading ‘Invisible Women’. It’s about data gender bias and how the world is set to default for men.
Laws also default to men. We don’t have strong laws for male aggression towards women, because it doesn’t happen to men.
Harassment is an umbrella term…
That covers everything from cat calling to sexual abuse. The data doesn’t separate the types of harassment so judges tend to not hand out strong sentences because it’s just ‘harassment’.And, to help make society accept rapists doing as they please, no matter who they harm or how young, and judges letting them off repeatedly, rape-enabling officials (largely men) changed “rape” to “sexual assault” to make rape sound softer, hide the horrid violence that rape is. Think about the hockey gang rape case currently becoming public knowledge (re undoing of Hockey Canada’s settling and gagging the victim). Which sounds more likely to end up in a prison sentence: Gang rape or group sexual assault (group makes it sound like a party)?
