After applying an enhanced remand credit, Hanson, 24, has almost two years left to serve after pleading guilty to possessing child porn and breaching two different orders prohibiting him from accessing the internet and communicating with children. Court heard that Hanson, 24, had been dating a 17-year-old girl. Her father contacted police after dropping Hanson off at a group home where he lived, Crown prosecutor Linh Lê said.Article content On July 22, 2021, officers went to the home and saw Hanson running outside to try to hide a cellphone. The phone contained 29 child porn images, including nude images of the 17-year-old girl, and Facebook messages between Hanson and the girl in which he would ask her to send nude photos and videos. At the time, he was on a three-year probation order as part of a 16-month jail sentence for possessing child porn, making it available and breaching a prior three-year probation order and three-year prohibition order.Section 161 prohibition order — conditions that keep child sex and child porn offenders away from children for a specified period of time — for five years., when he was sentenced to six months in jail for taking screen shots of videos of little girls posing nude and performing sex acts. He pleaded guilty to possessing child porn.Article content Legal Aid lawyer Shane Kozakavich said Hanson’s mother gave the court reports showing her son functions at an intellectual level “well below the norm” and has been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, ODD and a learning disability. Hanson, who said he thought his girlfriend was 18, has cognitive issues but still understands right from wrong, Lê said. He tends to associate with younger people, struggles with impulse control and lacks the ability to analyze situations and act accordingly, Kozakavich told court. He said Hanson’s mother is supportive but says there’s only so much she can do. Court heard he hopes to get in touch with Community Living, a government branch that helps people with intellectual disabilities access community-based services, upon his release.Article content Accepting the Crown and defence’s joint submission, Anand imposed a 12-year Section 161 order to follow Hanson’s 46-month jail sentence. It prohibits Hanson from going to pools, playgrounds or anywhere children commonly congregate, from volunteering with children, from having contact with anyone under 16 and from using the internet unless required by an employer.The news seems to be flying at us faster all the time.
