An American man, who was arrested at the St. Stephen border crossing in October, is sentenced to 15 months in jail for possession of and smuggling images of children being sexually abused into Canada.
RCMP say 31-year-old Shayne Clark from Philadelphia was arrested when members of the Canada Border Services Agency searched his car and found a laptop containing pictures of children being sexually abused.
Clark pleaded guilty and was sentenced yesterday in St. Stephen Provincial Court. His name will be added to the National Sex Offender Registry for 10 years and he submitted his DNA to the Offender DNA Data Bank. Clark also can’t be in any public area with children under 16 or be in contact with children under that age for 10 years. He’ll also be on probation for 3 years when he’s released from jail.
