La Ronge man gets 9 months for possessing child porn
CONTENT WARNING
A 27-year-old man from La Ronge was sentenced to nine months in jail and two years of probation this morning after he was found guilty of possessing child pornography.
Floyd Scott McKenzie was found guilty June 23 after a trial. In his written judgement, Justice Brian Scherman said two hard drives seized from McKenzie’s custom-built gaming computer were found to contain 90 videos and 18 images of which “the vast majority” were clearly child pornography. Although the files were deleted from the computer’s drives, members of the RCMP’s Internet Child Exploitation unit were able to recover them. Two computer disks found on McKenzie’s desk also contained pornography featuring minors.
“Many [of the videos] involve major sexual assaults on children,” Scherman said. “Some with associated violence that goes beyond the violence necessarily inherent in sexual assaults.”
