Law360 Canada ( July 18, 2025, 11:54 AM EDT) -- Appeal by Terwilligar from convictions for offences relating to child luring and making child pornography and appeal from eight‑year prohibition order under s. 161 of Criminal Code (Code). Terwilligar communicated online with an undercover officer posing as “Maurice,” the father of a 13-year-old girl and later to the same undercover officer posing as “Annie,” the 13-year-old girl. The communications between Terwilligar and Maurice included a plan to travel to Moncton, N.B., to sexually assault Annie, evidencing intent to exploit her minor status. Terwilligar’s interactions with Annie were confirmed through his residential IP address. Terwilligar was convicted of offences related to child luring, agreeing to commit sexual offences against a minor, and making child pornography. The trial judge (judge) rejected Terwilligar’s testimony that he believed the father and daughter were not real people. The issues were whether the search warrant of Terwilligar’s devices was overbroad and violated s. 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter) and whether s. 161 of Code applied when the victim was an undercover officer posing as a child, rather than an actual child victim....
