Kenneth Newell, 71, amassed a collection of more than 4,000 images and videos depicting child sexual exploitation; Sault police raided his apartment in January 2021
A 71-year-old Sault Ste. Marie man faces 30 months behind bars in a federal penitentiary for sharing a "significant number" of child pornography files on the Internet.
Prosecutor Stuart Woods had called for a three-year penitentiary sentence during an August sentencing hearing. The accused, who represented himself at the trial and sentencing hearing, maintained that the child pornography was not intentionally downloaded. An officer involved in the investigation described most of the images as modelling pictures of young girls, under the age of 10, posing in lingerie and in a sexual manner.
In this case, some reduction of the proposed three-year period is warranted because of Newell's lack of a criminal record, his advanced age, mental and physical health issues, and the nature of the child pornography images he shared and possessed, Kwolek said.
