Man who kidnapped, sexually assaulted Edmonton girl to be sentenced Wednesday

A man who admitted to kidnapping and sexually assaulting an eight-year-old Edmonton girl will be sentenced Wednesday afternoon.

Wade Stene pleaded guilty earlier this year to pulling a young girl inside his vehicle while she was walking home and attacking her before dropping her back off in March 2020.During a two-day sentencing hearing, Stene’s lawyer, Mark Jordan, asked for a 10-year prison sentence, minus 1,318 days in credit.

The Crown argued Stene’s bail significantly impacted the community and the outrage that led to protests outside his home were, “justified and predictable.”Nicholls said Stene essentially had a “rape kit” on hand, pointing out how he was wearing a mask, had duct tape with him and had his seat down and covered with a blanket.As the sentencing hearing came to an end on Tuesday, Stene was offered a chance to speak.
