This guy is human garbage. His “supporters” are human garbage. They are shit that a decent society should scrape off the bottom of its boot.
2 months in jail, 3 years probation, 12 month social media ban, a personal protective order, and $1,900 restitution seems light to me.
Lengthy incarceration does not prevent crime.
Some jail time, a year long ban from social media, and restitution seem like a fitting punishment.
It’s really not about preventing crime at this point, since the damage has already been done.
But this guy sounds like a danger to society, and the torture he put the family though deserves a lot more than 60 days.
A social media ban is a bit of a joke. He didn’t just harass this woman online, but physically entered her life. Criminal harassment is the charge.
The criminal code of Canada, in case you didn’t know, can get someone up to 10 years in jail for an indictable criminal harassment offence; up to 18 months for a summary conviction, with up to a $5000 fine.
60 days in jail and a social media ban for a year sounds like the absolute minimum.
CONTEXT for those who are downvoting: “Hornblower noted that Pollock has four prior criminal convictions. The judge pointed to a separate case against Pollock in 2019, when Pollock was convicted of posting an intimate image without consent.” This guy will keep doing this to other people, and needs to be kept away from society for as long as possible.
