BRANDON — A man found guilty posting images of the sexual assault of a minor on social media has been sentenced to 10 months in jail.
Marcos Hurtado had been convicted of voyeurism and producing and distributing child pornography after a trial.
In March, 2015, Hurtado was at a party when one of his friends took a 14-year-old girl up to a bedroom and had sex with her while Hurtado recorded a video and posted it on the popular social-media platform Snapchat.
Crown attorney Brett Rach told the court Hurtado was aware of the victim’s age at the time of the offence. The victim is only partially visible, with no nudity throughout the video.
Court heard Hurtado not only showed other people at the party the video, but allowed anyone who follows his Snapchat to view it over a 24-hour period.
In addition to 10 months in jail, Hurtado also received two years supervised probation upon his release, in which he must complete sex offender programming and other ordered counselling, abstain from alcohol and is banned from using computers, cellphones or gaming systems with internet access.
