Wow, what a piece of shit.

From CBC, looks like a plea deal.
I forgot he had other charges. He’s definitely done done, job wise.

Anyone else would be in jail. This kind of shit is what ruins the citizen's faith and support in the police and judiciary.
You’d think, but no- the shit we see people get bail for, and the sweet plea deals for even habitual offenders can be pretty demoralizing. Once crown let him plead all this down to just breach of trust. The ‘no jail’ die was pretty much cast. My best guess is crown let him take a plea that stopped the victim from having to testify. Crown gives very serious deference to that when there’s a sex offense victim who’s be hurt by testifying. I completely understand and respect the desire to protect the victim, but the outcome is gross.

That’s actually not true. People without criminal records who wind up with tons of charges and breaches before court also don’t go to jail.
His circumstances could only happen to a police officer but this sentence could be anyone with no violence and no criminal record.
This is the country giving bail and release to violent offenders on repeated breaches of their conditions.

The most common sentence in Canada is probation. Even for serious crimes against persons. And the most common jail sentence is less than 6 months.

Its not that easy to get time anymore. The treatment jail I worked at actually had to change the "application entry requirements" from at least a year left in your sentence to 6 months since so few offenders were getting that much time.

I remember 2 less a day being the norm. I hardly ever see it anymore.
I charged a guy with attempt murder for stabbing someone repeatedly and saying “I’ll kill you”. He pled it down to aggravated assault, has multiple prior offences including a previous stabbing and other crimes against persons. He got 18 months.

Just absurd.
Yeah. And it was open and shut- I was driving by and saw the fight start, broke them up, found the knife right away, and wrote the warrant to seize the clothes and DNA… Got statements from several cooperative, if goobered, witnesses… There was zero ambiguity or uncertainty about what went down.

Garbage like that should just be put down. No value to society in any way.
Tough job you have. Thank you for your service.
That was a while ago, but thanks I suppose. I do cushier stuff now. If I’m out in the mix these days it’s cause I’m dumb enough to volunteer, and that’s on me.
And a crown still managed to deliver less than stellar results? Shocking, just shocking I say...
So at 18 months, that's still provincial time...where they usually just have to serve 2/3 of their sentence...
So this guy essentially only did 12 months??
Booter said it. Absurd...

And its everywhere, the only time a sentence is usually proper is when, for some reason, the media has got involved....same for parole.
I'd bet money that Karla Holmoka would have been out in 3-5 years if it all hadnt been a media storm.

Trial by Tik Tok...
The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) has confirmed that a Victoria police officer was suspended after a woman accused him of extorting her and grooming her.
On Tuesday, VicPD and the OPCC said an officer had been suspended amid an investigation into a misconduct complaint, though the nature of the complaint was not disclosed.
Since then, a video posted to TikTok shows a young woman claiming that a VicPD officer, who she says she had known since she was 15 and dating his son, had groomed her and taken intimate videos of her that he used to extort her.
“This is a story of how I was extorted by a supervisor with the Victoria Police [Department], and treated poorly by the department when I reported the incident,” the video begins.
The woman says the officer knew her when she was a vulnerable youth, before pursuing her from a position of power.
