A Creston man who admitted to possessing over 2,000 images and 300 videos of child pornography has been sentenced to 900 days in jail.
Jesse Stephen-David Wood pleaded guilty to transmitting and possession of child pornography between Jan. 30, 2023 and Jan. 30, 2024.
In accepting a joint submission from the Crown and defence, provincial court judge Tyleen Underwood gave Wood 900 days on the transmission charge and 720 days on the possession charge, to be served concurrently.
Underwood also credited Wood with 287 days already spent in custody at a rate of time and a half.
Wood originally faced three other counts related to child pornography, but the Crown entered a stay of proceedings at the conclusion of the sentencing hearing.
