A man has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail for sexually assaulting a local teenage boy.
Because the term is more than two years less a day, it means Malcolm Llewellyn will serve the time in a federal prison.
Llewellyn, 68, will also be on the sex offender registry for 20 years.
The sentence, issued last week, was issued after Llewellyn pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault, related to a incident in an out-of-town hotel room.
During a Sept. 10 sentencing hearing, the court heard that Llewellyn gained the confidence of the boy's family to the point where his parents would let the two go on overnight trips out of the city.
When the boy returned from the trips, he would appear upset but wouldn't tell anyone why.
Matters came to a head in March 2014 when his behaviour became especially troublesome after returning home from a trip and his father approached police to say something might be wrong.
Llewellyn's behaviour was described as "very active grooming."
Crown prosecution had been seeking three years in jail while defence counsel had pressed for 18 months to two years less a day, followed by three years probation.
