Aaron Craig: Christopher Brennan

Christopher Brennan: Aaron Craig, who was 22 at the time of the offences, was convicted by a B.C. Supreme Court jury in October 2012. , according to Times Colonist. During the sentencing hearing, Craigs lawyer, Christopher Brennan, launched a constitutional challenge, arguing that the 45-day mandatory minimum sentence for sexual interference in place at the time of the offences eliminated the possibility of serving a conditional sentence in the community and violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A Victoria man convicted of Internet luring and sexually interfering with a 13-year-old girl in the fall of 2009 has been sentenced to 15 months in jail followed by two years of probation. In a decision posted online Monday, Justice Keith Bracken called the offences serious. Parliament has made it clear that the principles of denunciation and deterrence must be emphasized in cases of sexual offences against children, Bracken said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
