The court was actually deciding whether one Louis‑Pier Senneville could legitimately receive a pathetic three months in jail for his collection of hundreds of files showing “young girls between 3 and 6 years of age, some showing victims being subjected to acts of penetration and sodomy committed by adults and minors.” And whether one Mathieu Naud could be given nine months for his 800-file stash of mostly “children from 5 to 10 years of age being subjected to sexual abuse, such as fellatio and vaginal and anal penetration, by adults.” Quebec courts figured those were acceptable sentences, and appallingly, a majority of the Supreme Court agreed.
