A Hamilton, Ont., man who followed a 15-year-old down a dark trail just before midnight, grabbed her by the hair from behind, then showed her an explicit video and exposed himself has failed to convince a judge to tailor his sentence so he can avoid deportation.
Harpreet Singh, 30, was convicted in the Ontario Court of Justice for sexual interference, making sexually explicit material available to a child for the purpose of facilitating sexual interference, and exposure to a person under the age of 16 years for a sexual purpose. The permanent Canadian resident, who was born and raised in Punjab, India, argued unsuccessfully for 182 days in jail followed by two years of probation.
