Invitation To Sexual Touching

Life Impact

Just facing the charge of invitation to sexual touching can attract public scrutiny and negativity.  It is important to restrict the publication through all legal remedies.  For example, a ban on publication at a bail hearing is crucial.  If convicted the ramifications are significant and include a minimum jail sentence and mandatory registration on SOIRA (National Sex Registry) and CHRISTOPHER’S LAW (Ontario Sex Registry).  A probationary term after serving a sentence is common combined with court orders restricting attendance at various locations and use of the internet or digital networks.  In addition there will be travel implications.
