Man responsible for making and possessing child pornography, designated long term offender
Editor’s: The following story contains graphic details that readers may be sensitive too.
A man who admitted to making and possessing child pornography for the purpose of harm reduction has received a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence and has been designated a long-term offender.
This means that when Troy Lester’s custodial sentence expires, he will still be subject to intense supervision within the community for a period of eight years.
The 55-year-old appeared Thursday morning at Court of King’s Bench, and guilty pleas had been entered last November. With credit for time spent in pre-sentence he has roughly two years left on the prison sentence.
