🇨🇦 Judge says it would be 'cruel and unusual' to send Ontario man who sexually assaulted 12-year-old sister to jail

A man convicted on two counts of incest and one count of sexual assault after abusing his sister for four years starting when she was 12 gets house arrest, because prison would be too hard on him. That is the upside-down logic now running Canada’s justice system, as reported. The victim told him to stop, said she was in pain, and secretly recorded an assault. The court still decided the real constitutional drama was the offender facing a mandatory five years.

Justice Anne Molloy calls prison cruel and unusual, while the girl lived the actual cruelty for years. We are told he worked, drove, held a job, used condoms sometimes, hid evidence by going to the bathroom, and now just needs guidance about consent and family parameters. Translation: elite legal culture has more sympathy for managed rehabilitation than for moral clarity, punishment, or public confidence. When even incest against a child can be massaged into a therapeutic exercise, the message is obvious: in Trudeau-era Canada, consequences are for normal people, not for cases the system can reframe into sociology.
