A Canadian undercover agent who busted a man for sexually abusing his 4-year-old old daughter live on the Internet so another man could watch, said Thursday the sentence of four years in prison is too lenient.
The father, whose name was not released to protect the identity of his daughter, was arrested in October 2006, just hours after he used a webcam to expose his daughter to another man during a chatroom conversation. The father from St. Thomas, Ontario, pleaded guilty in October to seven criminal charges.
Justice John McGarry called it a "gross case; a sickening case of breach of trust."
"Words cannot describe what is found in those pictures. They are of a three- and four-year-old girl being used by her father for his own sexual gratification," McGarry said.
Paul Krawczyk, the undercover detective who watched the live Internet assault, called the judge's sentence "sad."
"It's just four years. The child has to deal with this for the rest of her life, and not just the child, the mother of the child, the family members of the child," he said.
"The mom said it perfectly yesterday. She said it would be easier if the father was dead. Nobody ever thinks of the children in this," Krawczyk said.
Officials said the man is one of 82 men arrested worldwide as a result of a global police operation involving Internet child pornography, which began with the arrest of another Canadian man.
