A Fergus man has been sentenced to 21 months in jail for possessing child pornography.
With credit for time already served, Paul Curry will complete his sentence next June.
Curry was arrested in January, in connection with an ongoing OPP investigation into child pornography.
According to his lawyer, David Quayat, electronic devices seized from Curry’s home contained “about 5,000” images.
He was sentenced Monday. Quayat says the 21-month sentence was what he had recommended to the judge.
Following his release, he will be on probation for three years.
He will also spend the rest of his life on Canada’s sex offender registry, meaning he will be banned from public places like parks and swimming pools.
Hours after Curry was arrested, a fire broke out at the retired high school teacher’s home on Union Street in Fergus.
His wife was charged with arson in connection with that fire. As of Tuesday, the house remained boarded up and uninhabited. (more...)
