Jason Hill cried and told the court how what he'd done had "ruined a lot more than" his life. He said he was sorry, that he wished it had never happened.
Of course, that's all easy for him to say now. He's already been caught. Leaving the rest of us to wonder if it's that he is sorry for what he did, or just sorry that he didn't scare her enough to keep her silent.
Four and a half years just isn't enough, regardless of how much this predator can cry in court.

Jason Hill, 31, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison after earlier pleading guilty to having sexual contact with a child and counselling a child to sexually touch him.
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Brian Burrows said it was aggravating that the abuse went on for a long time and involved sexual acts on the "extreme end" of the scale.
The judge also found it aggravating that Hill had showed pornography to the child prior to assaulting her and had told her not to tell anyone what had happened.

According to agreed facts, the sexual abuse happened between June 2003 and July 2004 when the victim was between seven and nine years old and Hill was 27 and 28.
Court heard the victim, who is now 11, told police Hill had showed her pornography on his computer and both raped her and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
Four and a half years just isn't enough, regardless of how much this predator can cry in court.
