Penticton ex-youth leader awaits sentence in unusual child porn case

  • Scott Vanderburg, 35, appeared in Penticton Provincial Court for sentencing after pleading guilty to creating and distributing child pornography, as defined under the Canadian Criminal Code.
  • The Crown is seeking an 18-month jail term, followed by three years of probation, while the defense requests a conditional discharge or sentence in the community instead of jail.
  • The court noted that Vanderburg held a position of trust, which was an aggravating factor, although no child was abused to create the materials involved.
  • Due to the case's unique circumstances, the judge postponed the sentencing to a later date, with no established precedents for comparison.
