A former police officer is heading to jail for 18 months for possessing child pornography and paying to have children in foreign countries involved in sex acts that he could watch over Skype.
John Paul Stone, 57, who spent five years working for the OPP near Belleville, was led away in handcuffs by a Perth County OPP officer Wednesday after Superior Court Justice Ian Leach delivered his decision in a Stratford courtroom.
A long list of charges was laid nearly three years ago, and Stone pleaded guilty to two of them this past December.
“I’m ready,” the longtime Listowel resident said Wednesday to Postmedia outside the Perth County Courthouse in Stratford when asked how he was feeling on the morning of his sentencing.
Creepy bastard deserved more than that! Oh well, good to know that his time will be doubly tough due to the nature of his crimes, and his prior position as a cop. I hear the lads in jail take kindly to neither!
certainly hope he gets “lured” by Bubba….
He’ll be PCed away right away . No hard time allowed for the enforcement class ,they are hero’s that keep us safe.
So, out in six months?
Unless they credit him for pre-trail custody, so less. Assuming there was any .
Different set of laws. I’m surprised they released his name .
Long overdue to disband the OPP. Corruption within the OPP resulted in them being highest paid police force in Canada and the Ontario Liberal party being untouchable .
