Supreme Court Restores Mandatory Minimum for Child Sex Trafficking | Montreal News
Description
The Supreme Court of Canada has overturned a Quebec court ruling, reinstating a mandatory six-month jail sentence for anyone convicted of soliciting or obtaining sexual services from a minor for money. In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled the sentence doesn’t violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, calling it a reasonable and necessary response to protect minors and deter exploitation. The case stems from 2018, when 55-year-old Mario Denis was sentenced under this law after responding to a police sting operation. The ruling sends a strong message that Canada’s highest court takes these crimes seriously and supports a tough legal stance to safeguard children.
