Man's children reported him sexually abusing foster children in his care after finding videos.
A B.C. man who pleaded guilty to 11 counts of sexual offences against young children — many of whom were in his care as foster children — has lost his sentence appeal.
“On the first day of the trial, the Crown tendered, and the judge watched, many of the videos seized from D.O.’s home, including videos of him sexually abusing several foster children in his care,” Justice Elizabeth Bennett wrote. Bennett said that, after separating from his wife, D.O. continued to foster children beginning in 2008, up until the time of his arrest in 2019. “He specifically requested younger boys as foster children,” Bennett said. “He adopted two of the boys whom he had fostered as a single parent.”He responded, “It’s a difficult question because of how the offences happened. On one occasion, if the child was never told, they would never have known and so the trauma was brought on by them being told.
“A search of D.O.’s home resulted in the seizure of multiple digital devices. These devices revealed extensive video files and images of child pornography, some from the Internet and some ‘homemade,’” Bennett said.The Crown had proposed a range of seven to 11 years and the Port Coquitlam Provincial Court sentencing judge did not give D.O. notice that she intended to exceed the range, the decision said.
