An Edmonton auto mechanic who lured multiple teenage girls over Snapchat — in two cases trading alcohol and prescription drugs for sex — was led from a courtroom in handcuffs Friday to begin an 11\u002Dyear prison sentence.
, Sultan admitted he knew the girls and that they requested alcohol. But he insisted no sexual acts were performed, and that there were no arrangements made for the girls to have sex with him.
“I feel like a prisoner in my own head, replaying the nights and wondering why I was so stupid to get in the car,” said the victim, whose name is covered by a publication ban. “I used to see him in crowds watching me, but it was just a cruel joke my mind played on me. I would cringe and panic every time I saw the same car model as his.”Oct. 21, 2020, after his name came up during an unrelated missing persons investigation.
Johal said a 21-year sentence would have been appropriate, but removed time to take into account “totality,” a legal principle that urges judges not to impose “crushing” prison terms when dealing with consecutive sentences.Article contentSultan showed a “substantial” amount of planning, including driving to meet the girls and taking them to an industrial area that was gated and locked, Davidson said. Sultan also used multiple social media accounts and did not use a condom when abusing the girls.
Davidson initially settled on a sentence of 12 1/2 years, but reduced the amount for totality. One woman in the gallery could be heard to scoff at the amount.
